The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what her Department's policy is on increasing funding to Cornwall Council for (a) social care services (b) SEND services and (c) road maintenance.

Answered by Jim McMahon

Future local authority funding decisions will be a matter for the next Spending Review and, as is usual, we will consider the funding required for social care, SEND, and road maintenance within this process. We will consult with local authorities, including Cornwall, ahead of the next provisional Local Government Finance Settlement.
