The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will take steps to engage with local communities in Devon on local government restructuring.

Answered by Jim McMahon

The English Devolution White Paper sets out the Government’s plans for local government reorganisation, and that the Government will write to council leaders as soon as possible to formally invite proposals, setting out information on our criteria for sustainable unitary structures, how and when to submit proposals and how the government intends to respond to proposals.
