The Minister for Local Government and Homelessness (Alison McGovern)
On 5 February I made a written statement on local government reorganisation. There was a minor error in the statement. In outlining the proposals received from the invitation area of Kent and Medway, it said:
“Dartford Borough Council and Gravesham Borough Council submitted a proposal for four unitary councils…
Dover District Council, Swale Borough Council and Thanet District Council submitted a proposal for five unitary councils.”
[Official Report, 5 February 2026; Vol. 780, c. 25WS.]
It should have said:
“Dover District Council, Swale Borough Council and Thanet District Council submitted a proposal for four unitary councils…
Dartford Borough Council and Gravesham Borough Council submitted a proposal for five unitary councils.”
