The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what is the projected total cost of local government reorganisation in Cambridgeshire.

Answered by Alison McGovern

Exact costs and savings will vary by area, depending on proposals received and which proposals are implemented. It was for local areas to firstly submit proposals, including estimated costs/benefits of each proposal.

We anticipate that we will launch a consultation in February on final proposals for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough that meet the terms of the invitation letter before deciding which, if any, to implement.
