Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of funding for local government.

We are taking immediate action to begin addressing the challenges facing local government by ensuring that funding goes to the places that need it most.

At the Autumn Budget, we announced over £4 billion in additional funding for local government services, including £1.3 billion which will go through the Settlement.
