answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/10/2019 answer text <p>We are confident that local authorities are taking appropriate steps to prepare for the UK leaving the EU without a deal to ensure that the services that residents, communities and businesses rely upon continue. This Department has made available £77 million of funding to help all local areas to prepare for Brexit and we are ensuring that councils have the necessary information to prepare effectively, and that there are opportunities to raise and address specific local questions and concerns. Every council now has a Brexit Lead Officer who will ensure their councils take all necessary steps to prepare for a no deal and to further enhance two-way communication between the different tiers of government. The Department has also received and reviewed the No Deal plans of all 38 Local Resilience Forums in England and we are confident that there are sufficient plans in place. There has also been extensive engagement with the sector, including a series of events for all councils, a monthly meeting between the Secretary of State and sector leaders, a monthly teleconference with all Chief Executives and Brexit Lead Officers, and weekly dialogue with a network of nine Chief Executives who represent their regions on Brexit. There are also regular mailouts, bulletins and dedicated web pages to bring together relevant information, advice and guidance on Brexit from across Whitehall.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 01/10/2019 15:50:47 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
