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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what new peer review protocols are being introduced to evaluate the operational readiness of Local Resilience Forums.

The Government has worked closely with Local Resilience Forums to develop a new peer review model for the sector, designed to provide constructive external challenge and support continuous improvement. This will support Local Resilience Forums to learn from each other and strengthen their arrangements.
