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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential use of a legislative reform order to remove the requirement to publish the home addresses of councillors.

I refer the noble Lord to the response given to Question on 21 January 2025 UIN 23872. We consider removal of the requirement for councillors’ home addresses to be published is best achieved by primary legislation and intend to legislate at the first available opportunity.
