The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 31 January 2025 to Question 26034 on Local Government: Reorganisation, if she will place a copy of the report entitled Population size and local authority performance, published by the Department for Communities and Local Government in 2006, in the Library of the House.

Answered by Jim McMahon

A House of Commons Library Research Briefing (https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-9056/CBP-9056.pdf) published on 11 February 2025 includes information on the 2006 report commissioned by the Department; ‘population size and local authority performance’. This briefing also includes access to the published report.

I have also made arrangements for a copy of the report to be made directly available within the House of Commons Library.
