Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Written Statement of 21 July 2021, HCWS234 on Local Government Update, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of publishing a detailed summary of the three consultations referenced in that Statement.

The summary document that I published on 22 July 2021, available here , contains extensive detail on the responses to the consultation from Somerset residents and stakeholders.
