Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jim McMahon and Ruth Jones

Monday 20th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Jim McMahon]

The Government are not requiring any area to reorganise. What we did was write out and invite proposals to be submitted, and I pay tribute to councillors across the country for the leadership they have shown in putting those proposals forward. Investment to support LGR or devolution will follow a bit later, but to be clear, this is a bottom-up reorganisation being requested by local councils, and they have our full support in that process.

[Ruth Jones (Newport West and Islwyn) (Lab)]
