The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make it her Department’s policy to amend local authorities’ statutory service obligations.

Answered by Jim McMahon

Local authorities play a crucial role in the delivery of this Government’s missions, from driving growth, to delivering opportunities for all. We are fully focussed on resetting the relationship between national and local government, working together in a trusting and productive partnership so local people get the support and services they need and deserve.
