The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, If he can confirm the dates of the proposed technical consultation for Local Government Reorganisation in Sussex.

Answered by Alison McGovern

We anticipate that the consultation will take place shortly after the local elections and will run until around mid-June.

Once the consultation has closed, the Secretary of State will take a final decision on which, if any, proposal to take forward in these areas, having regard to all relevant information, including responses to the technical consultation.
