Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will allocate funds to the devolved Governments equivalent to the £51.3 billion package for councils in England announced by the Minister of Housing, Communities & Local Government, on 10 February 2021.

At Spending Review 2020, the core spending power for Local Government increased from £49.0 billion to £51.3 billion in 2021-22. The Barnett formula was applied to changes in departmental funding as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy so additional funding for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has already generated additional funding for the devolved administrations as part of their own 2021-22 settlements.
