Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Autumn Budget and Spending Review 2021, whether Luton will receive funding for family hubs as one of the 75 areas to receive that support.

At Budget this October, the government announced £82 million to create a network of family hubs. This is part of a wider £300 million package to transform services for parents and babies, carers, and children in half of local authorities across England.

We will set out more detail in due course on how this funding will be allocated.
