Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many local authorities to date have submitted efficiency plans in order to qualify for a multi-year financial settlement.
Since the announcement of the multi-year settlement offer in December 2015 we have recorded interest from over 125 councils.
Councils have until 14 October 2016 to apply to accept the offer of a multi-year settlement and submit their efficiency plan.
