Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to meet with the Chief Executive of London Councils in the next 12 months.

I am clear that resetting the relationship with local government is a priority. I was pleased to be joined at the Leader’s Council meeting two weeks ago by the Chair of London Councils, Cllr Claire Holland, alongside colleagues from across local government. My department, both ministers and officials, regularly meet with senior leaders from across local government, including London Councils.
