Children: Social Services

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans he has to increase funding for children's services in Liverpool; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

We have confirmed our settlement for local government for 2019-20, which sees a real-terms increase in local government spending power next year. Core spending power increases from £45.1 billion in 2018-19 to £46.4 billion in 2019-20. For Liverpool, core spending power will rise from £449 million in 2018-19 to £458 million in 2019-20.

All long-term spending decisions are for this year’s Spending Review, when the government will set out its approach for the future.
