Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the spending power for each fire authority will be in 2017-18.

Total core spending power for each local authority in England for 2017-18 to 2019-20 is published in the “Core Spending Power:summary” table at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/core-spending-power-final-local-government-finance-settlement-2017-to-2018 .

The table includes the 29 stand-alone fire and rescue authorities in England for which Core Spending Power is separately calculated.

It also includes the 16 local authorities in England where fire funding is decided by the local authority. In these cases fire and rescue provision is embedded in these local authorities. Hence separate fire funding figures are not centrally available.
