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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what oversight his Department has of the dispersal of relief funding being collected by different organisations for the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

DCLG has contributed £1 million to a fund co-ordinated by the London Funders, in partnership with a coalition of independent charitable trusts and foundations, to support charities and other groups helping those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. The consortia will provide assurance to DCLG that resources granted from this fund support the local voluntary sector to meet the needs of the communities affected, ensure the organisations are working to support those affected and that they are already an established local resource and are relied upon by local people.
