Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 16 April 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has provided funding to (a) local authorities, (b) combined authorities and (c) elected mayors for contingency planning for the UK leaving the EU.
My Department will continue to work with local government to plan for a number of EU exit scenarios and will carefully consider the opportunities and issues which may arise. We also work closely with policy teams from across Whitehall to understand the impact their EU Exit policies will have on the sector, and ensure that they assess and, if appropriate, fund any potential new burdens. The Spending Review will provide an opportunity to look at the funding for local government in the round.
