Local Government: Reorganisation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the disaggregation of services in local government reorganisation proposals on (a) governance and (b) service delivery.
Answered by Alison McGovern
Decisions on the most appropriate option for each area will be judgements in the round, having regard to the statutory guidance and the available evidence, including governance and service delivery considerations.
All public bodies, including the Government, are required to comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty under the Equality Act 2010. This duty applies to the local government reorganisation process.
