Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent discussions he has had with relevant stakeholders on the sustainability of local government finances.
This question was answered on 9th January 2023
We continue to work closely with local government, as we always do, meeting regularly with sector representative bodies and councils to monitor budgets and service delivery.
The provisional Local Government Finance Settlement for 2023/24 makes available up to an additional £5 billion to councils, an increase of 9% in cash terms on 2022/23. We are consulting on these proposals until 16 January.
