Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government following the issuing of a section 114 notice by Northamptonshire County Council, what information they have about the likelihood of other councils issuing such notices; and with which councils they have had discussions on the possible issuing of such notices.

Officials have discussions with councils on a wide range of issues on an ongoing basis. Other than Northamptonshire County Council, no council has indicated that it is actively considering issuing a section 114 notice.
