Fire and Rescue Services: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 29 April 2025 to Question 47888 on Fire and Rescue Services: Finance, when she will publish the output of the public consultation on local government funding reform.
Answered by Jim McMahon
The government is committed to implementing long-awaited local government funding reforms through a multi-year Settlement in 2026-27. On 19 December 2024, we published a consultation on the principles and objectives which will underpin our plans for those reforms. We will publish a second consultation on more detailed proposals for funding reform in the summer, after the Spending Review, and this will include the government’s response to the first consultation.
