The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much will be paid to each local authority through the Employer National Insurance Contribution Grant in the 2025-26 financial year; and whether payments will be made through that grant in the 2026-27 financial year.

Answered by Jim McMahon

The allocations for the Employer National Insurance Contributions Grant for each local authority are available on the GOV.UK page for the 2025-26 Local Government Finance Settlement, in the Core Spending Power table - Core Spending Power table: final local government finance settlement 2025 to 2026 - GOV.UK.

Spending decisions beyond 2025-26, including on Employer National Insurance Contributions Grant for 2026-27, are a matter for the upcoming Spending Review.
