A full breakdown of how the £1.5bn for 2018/19 was allocated can be found in my Written Ministerial Statement, HCWS540, laid on the 13th March (https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-03-13/HCWS540/). This includes £73.9 million for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland due to Barnett consequentials. This money will be paid out in Supplementary Estimates 18/19 later this financial year. Departments will be invited to bid for 2019/20 EU Exit preparation funding later in the year. Details of timings and process will be set out in due course.

HM Treasury does not provide funding to local authorities directly. Local authorities receive funding through MHCLG or from departments when their policy imposes costs on the local authority.
