Question
What assessment has the Minister made of the impact that the Local Government Settlement 2024-25 will have on promoting prosperity and tackling poverty?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
A Strategic Integrated Impact Assessment (SIIA) was completed at the draft budget, which included the local government settlement. The settlement for 2024-2025 increased by £14.4m over the figures announced at draft budget. Changes between draft and final budgets build on existing plans and are modifications to the spending plans set out in draft budget 2024-25. Therefore, an updated SIIA has not been published alongside the final budget.
