MPs seek evidence on Government's approach to funding local government

In a new inquiry, the House of Commons Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee is inviting evidence on:

• The approach the Government should take to local government funding in England as part of the 2020 Spending Review and what the key features of that settlement should be.
• The current financial situation of councils, how this has affected their ability to deliver services and the demand for services, including Adult Social Care.
• What the financial challenges facing councils are as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including lost income and local tax losses.
• What the impact is of another one-year spending review and a further delay to a multi-year settlement and the Fair Funding Review.

Deadline is Friday 27 November 2020.
