The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when she expects councils to receive feedback on their local government reorganisation plans.

Answered by Jim McMahon

On 3 June I updated the House to confirm that my Department had provided individual written feedback to each area on the interim plans for local government reorganisation that they submitted by 21 March 2025. Areas have been encouraged to share that feedback with MPs and I also published a summary of the feedback to support all areas in progressing their proposals and in the interests of transparency.
