Localism Act 2011
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the government has any plans to amend the Localism Act 2011 in this Parliament.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The Localism Act 2011 covers a broad range of local government and community empowerment matters, and the government keeps this legislative framework under review. The government is committed to widening and deepening devolution across England, rebuilding and reforming local government and giving communities stronger tools to shape their local areas. The government is delivering on this through the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill, by devolving powers to local leaders across areas such as transport, skills, housing and growth, and by enhancing community empowerment, including greater influence over local decision-making and control over local assets.
