Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government what financial resources they intend to provide to those local authorities who wish to pursue local government re-organisation ahead of the upcoming English Devolution White Paper.
The English Devolution White Paper sets out more detail on the government’s reorganisation plans, including on working with councils to move to simpler structures that make sense for their local areas, with efficiency savings from council reorganisation helping to meet the needs of local people.
