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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he plans to provide additional funds to local authorities to cover costs associated with the Coronation.

A national programme of celebration is planned around the occasion of the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. As with previous national events such as Her late Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, community activity is expected to be supported through existing budgets or sources.

The department will share guidance and resources from DCMS through our regular channels, and champion local activity across the UK. Any further announcements will be made in the usual way.
