Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 20 July 2017 to Question 5261, when the Government plans to make a decision on how best to continue to engage the Local Government Association, the steering and working groups and the local government sector more generally.
The Government is committed to collaborating with the local government sector in developing the future direction of local government finance reform. Dialogue between the Local Government Association and the Government is ongoing and I have recently written to the Chair of the Local Government Association proposing that the steering and working groups continue to work with the Government.
