The Barnett formula applies to all increases or decreases to Departmental Expenditure Limits (DEL), including when budgets change in relation to funding for Fire and Rescue Authorities.<\/p>

<\/p>

Fire and Rescue Authorities in England receive funding through the Local Government Finance Settlement. Part of this funding comes from DEL agreed at the Spending Review and the Barnett formula has been applied in the usual way. Additionally, Fire and Rescue Funding is raised through council tax precepts, which is council tax funding ring-fenced for Fire and Rescue Authorities. The Barnett formula does not apply to spending financed by council tax.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4780", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Laura Trott"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sevenoaks"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Laura Trott"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-02-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-02-06T17:54:45.647Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Fire and Rescue Services: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 21 December 2023 to Question 7211 on Fire and Rescue Services Finance, what Barnett consequentials arise as a result of additional funding support for Fire and Rescue Authorities in England.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4488", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Martyn Day"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Linlithgow and East Falkirk"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Martyn Day"} ], "uin" : "11830"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1678390", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1678390/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Overall, fire and rescue authorities will receive around £2.6 billion in 2023/24. Fire and rescue services have the resources they need to do their important work.<\/p>

DLUHC published the final Local Government Settlement on 6 February 2023 setting out the referendum principles for Local Authorities in 2023/24. All standalone FRAs will be able to increase their Band D council tax by £5. This will raise £67m if all standalone FRAs choose to make full use of the flexibility.<\/p>

Fire and Rescue is a devolved matter, and therefore the response to this PQ relates to England only. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) is responsible for publishing the Final Local Government Finance Settlement. This is the annual determination of funding to local government (including fire), which is approved by the House of Commons. The settlement includes the Core Spending Power for each local authority.
