answer text <p>This Government would prefer to leave with a deal and will work in an energetic and determined way to get that better deal.</p><p> </p><p>But the Treasury stands ready to provide funding to prepare for leaving without a deal. That is why the Chancellor and I have made over £2bn available for no deal preparations this year (2019-20) since taking office. All parts of the UK have benefitted from this funding, with the Barnett formula being applied in the usual way.</p><p> </p><p>Should the UK leave without a deal, the Treasury will consider the appropriate response. The Government and the Bank of England have fiscal and monetary policy tools available, and are ready to respond as appropriate to support the economy should the circumstances require.</p><p> </p><p>The government has already guaranteed that UK organisations who get EU programme funding will continue to do so should the EU cease to fund these organisations after exit.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Due to changes in the finance and function of local government, there is no consistent measure of central government funding since 2010. The Department’s preferred measure of local government funding is Core Spending Power. Core Spending power is comparable over the period 2015-16 to 2019-20 and published in cash terms on the Department's website:<br> <br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/core-spending-power-final-local-government-finance-settlement-2019-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/core-spending-power-final-local-government-finance-settlement-2019-to-2020</a> <br> <br> The 10 local authorities with the greatest reduction in Core Spending Power over the period 2015-16 to 2019-20 are listed below:</p><p> </p><p>Basingstoke and Deane</p><p>Brentwood</p><p>East Cambridgeshire</p><p>Epsom and Ewell</p><p>Forest Heath</p><p>Gedling</p><p>Huntingdonshire</p><p>North Dorset</p><p>St Albans</p><p>Watford</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is one of nine Government departments contributing to the cross-government work on loneliness. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-connected-society-a-strategy-for-tackling-loneliness" target="_blank">‘A connected society: a strategy for tackling loneliness - laying the foundations for change’</a>, sets out the Department’s commitment to tackling loneliness across a range of areas, including funding research into the impact of community-led housing and cohousing solutions on loneliness and working with the Local Government Association (LGA) and National Association of Local Councils (NALC) to explore an effective means of sharing learning and good practice.</p><p>The loneliness strategy takes action on the Jo Cox Commission’s recommendation for a family test: it requires government departments to report on their work on tackling loneliness in their annual Single Departmental Plans from 2019/20 and commits to including loneliness in the guidance for the Family Test.</p><p>The Inter-Ministerial Group on Loneliness will be continuing to explore additional options to ensure social relationships are considered across Government’s wider policy-making. The Ministerial Group will publish an annual progress report on the loneliness agenda, recognising that this is just the start of government’s work on this issue.</p>
