Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department has received proposals on restructuring from local authorities in Cumbria, North Yorkshire and Somerset.
Councils in North Yorkshire, Somerset and Cumbria have until 9 December to submit their final proposals for local government reorganisation. We have already received more than one outline proposal from each area. All proposals received will be carefully considered.
