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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s capacity to undertake the electoral reviews required as a consequence of local government reorganisation; and what steps she is taking to ensure that the Local Government Boundary Commission for England has sufficient resources to (a) undertake and (b) complete full electoral reviews of those authorities in time for the subsequent unitary elections in 2032.

I refer the Hon. Member to the Secretary of State’s oral statement of 7 September.
