The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what comparative assessment he has made of levels of funding allocated to (a) mayoral combined authority areas and (b) non-mayoral local authority areas.

Answered by Nesil Caliskan

We have not made a direct comparative assessment of all levels of funding allocated to Mayoral Strategic Authorities and non-mayoral local authorities. All funding information is published online through the “Local authority capital expenditure and receipts” and “Local authority revenue expenditure and financing” collection.
