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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he had discussions on Lord Vallance on the implications of the local government reorganisation options for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough for delivery of the Growth Corridor, prior to the Government's announcement of 16 July 2026..

The government will aim to reach a decision on which option, if any, to implement by October at the latest. This will still allow elections to new councils in May 2027 before they go live in April 2028.
