The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what per capita infrastructure funding was allocated to (a) Leicester and Leicestershire, (b) the East Midlands Combined County Authority area, (c) the West Midlands Combined Authority area, and (d) Greater Manchester Combined Authority area in 2025-26.

Answered by Nesil Caliskan

Several HMG departments provide infrastructure funding to local government across a range of priority sectors including transport, housing and regeneration, economic development, utilities and digital infrastructure. The Government does not yet hold a complete published dataset for infrastructure funding allocations for 2025‑26. Details of the 2025-26 allocations will be published in due course and will be available via the "Local authority capital expenditure and receipts", as per precedent.
