Correction to Written Statement HCWS1309

Written ministerial statementMade by Alison McGovernMinister of State for Local Government and HomelessnessMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentHCWS1314

On 5 February I made a written statement on Local Government Reorganisation. There was a minor error in the statement. In outlining the proposals received from the invitation area of Kent and Medway it said:

“…Dartford Borough Council and Gravesham Borough Council submitted a proposal for four unitary councils.…Dover District Council, Swale Borough Council and Thanet District Council submitted a proposal for five unitary councils.”

It should have said:

“…Dover District Council, Swale Borough Council and Thanet District Council submitted a proposal for four unitary councils.…Dartford Borough Council and Gravesham Borough Council submitted a proposal for five unitary councils.”
