Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the total block grant given to Richmond Council in each of the last five years for which figures are available.
It is not possible to directly compare the figures across years due to changes in the services funded through the block grant for each year. However, I will place the figures in question in the libraries of both Houses.
