Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 7 November 2018.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make an assessment of the merits for communities of reinstating the migrant impact fund.
We launched the Controlling Migration Fund in October 2016, with £100 million available over four years, to provide additional support to local areas that are facing pressure as a result of recent migration. To date we have funded £74 million. The deadline for bids from local authorities for a share of the remaining £26 million in the Fund was 1 October. My officials are assessing the applications that were submitted and successful projects will be announced in the new year. We will consider how best to continue to provide support for areas in response to the impacts of recent migration as part of the next Spending Review.
