Your request

On the 2nd February, Lambeth Council took out £40m in a loan from the Treasury.

a) Please could you tell me what this was for?

b) Is this answer the same as the reason for taking out the loan that was given to the Treasury?

Our response

The council borrows in line with its treasury and cash management strategies and not for specific projects or programme.
