Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 8 July 2020 to Question 68708, on Local Government Finance: Coronavirus, whether Barnett Consequentials will flow from his Department's covid-19 local authority funding scheme.

Any new funding for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government will have the Barnett formula applied to it in the usual way.

This would be on top of the £8.9 billion of additional funding that we have already confirmed for the devolved administrations in relation to Covid-19.
