The Department has no further plans to carry out a further assessment.</p><p>Local authorities in England will receive more than £200 billion to deliver these and other community services between 2016-17 and 2019-20, and will have the certainty to plan ahead through our four-year funding settlement.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 29/01/2018 17:31:29 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
