Local Government: County Councils

Question
Whether they support the retention of county councils.
Answer

My Lords, the Government are currently engaged in a wide-ranging debate about the future of local government, including county councils. As part of that debate, we are discussing with local government the changes to local governance arrangements that it believes are needed. We will conclude the debate in the White Paper that we will publish later this year.
