Government is working closely with all local authorities to help them make payments to businesses in scope of the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grants Fund (RHLGF) as quickly and effectively as possible. As of 14 June, £10.36 billion has been paid out to over 844,000 business properties in scope of Small Business Grants Fund and Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grants Fund. We do not hold data from local authorities broken down by sector. We have, however, published a full breakdown of grant funding allocated to and distributed by each local authority here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-grant-funding-local-authority-payments-to-small-and-medium-businesses.
