Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether additional financial support (a) is and (b) will be made available to local authorities to fund the provision of warm banks (i) outside office working hours and (ii) overnight.

Further to my answer to Question UIN 107098, answered on 14 December, the department does not hold data on cold weather shelters.

Local authorities in Wales are in the first instance a matter for the Welsh Government. The devolved administrations are funded to deliver their devolved responsibilities, including local government.
