Monday 4th December 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Mr Philip Hollobone must be followed by Mr Peter Bone.

[Mr Peter Bone (Wellingborough) (Con)]

In the light of the county council’s financial situation, would the Minister be keen to look at emerging proposals from across Northamptonshire about how local government might be better restructured?

[Mr Jones]

We recognise the financial pressure that Northamptonshire County Council is under and we stand ready to look at any locally led proposals from across Northamptonshire on how local government might be better restructured to transform challenges into opportunities.
