The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has made an estimate of the cost of creating a unitary authority in Lincolnshire.

Answered by Jim McMahon

There has not been such an estimate made for the cost of creating a unitary authority in Lincolnshire. That will be for councils to consider when developing their proposals for new unitary councils that are the right size to achieve efficiencies, improve capacity and withstand financial shocks.
