Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jim McMahon and Chris Webb

Monday 2nd December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Jim McMahon]

Central Government have said to local government that we want to reset the relationship and work as partners in power, and it is not unreasonable to expect that councils will do the same at a local level and will work together in partnership. We see that across the country: local councils work in partnership with their parish and town councils in the interests of their community. Whether or not reorganisation takes place, we expect that to continue.
