Asked by:
Mark Pawsey (Conservative - Rugby)
Question
to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made on the amount of New Homes Bonus that will be paid to local authorities over the next four years.
