Local Government: Worcestershire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will announce his decision on the reorganization of Worcestershire councils before the rise of the House for the summer recess.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The government remains committed to the indicative timetable published in July 2025. Proposals for Worcestershire were received by 28 November 2025 and were subject to statutory consultation from 5 February 2026 to 26 March 2026. The Secretary of State is considering the proposals against the published criteria, together with consultation responses and other relevant information, with a decision expected on which proposals will be implemented before the summer recess.
