Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much confidence and supply money has been allocated to each of the eleven local councils in Northern Ireland.

Alongside the Confidence & Supply Agreement, the UK Government committed £1 billion of financial support to Northern Ireland in support of strengthening the Northern Ireland economy and recognising that Northern Ireland has unique circumstances within the UK.

The Government has so far allocated £430 million to the Northern Ireland block grant and expects the release of a further £333 million in 2019/20, subject to Parliament’s approval through the normal Estimates process. The remaining £237m will be allocated in due course.

Allocations to departments are agreed as part of the Budget process with any funding filtered to local councils through a variety of funding streams, as appropriate. Specific detail on how much is allocated to local councils is not held centrally.
