The Spending Review did include £950m to help councils pay for what the government described as "good-quality temporary accommodation" instead of "costly bed-and-breakfasts and hotels". London's boroughs have welcomed that, but again, it is not clear how much will come to London.

British finance minister Rachel Reeves announced her first multi-year spending review on Wednesday, dividing up more than 2 trillion pounds ($2.7 trillion) of public money between her ministerial colleagues and setting their budgets until 2029.
