Correction to Written Statement HCWS1455

Written ministerial statementMade by Steve ReedSecretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentHCWS1485

On 25 March I made a written statement on Local Government Reorganisation. There was a minor error in the statement. In outlining the new councils to be created in Suffolk, it said:

“Central and Eastern Suffolk Council (current local government areas of West Suffolk, 21 parishes from Mid Suffolk, and Babergh (less 31 parishes)).Western Suffolk Council (current local government areas of Mid Suffolk (less 29 parishes), and East Suffolk (less 25 parishes).”It should have said:

“Western Suffolk Council (current local government areas of West Suffolk, 21 parishes from Mid Suffolk, and Babergh (less 31 parishes)).Central and Eastern Suffolk Council (current local government areas of Mid Suffolk (less 29 parishes), and East Suffolk (less 25 parishes).”
