To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much funding his Department has allocated as part of the settlement for contaminated land activities to each local authority in England in 2016-17.

The relevant funding streams are unringfenced and this is to allow councils to manage their budgets independently and in line with local priorities.
