Martyn Day – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Martyn Day on 2016-10-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will make it his policy to provide financial assistance to local authorities which are increasing their insurance cover against the risk of terrorism.

Local authorities are democratically elected organisations, and as such are responsible for managing their budgets and insurance arrangements in line with local priorities and risks.
