Local Government Finance: Elections
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Written Statement of 28 November 2024 on Local Government Finance, HCWS265, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Government’s programme of devolution and reorganisation on the scheduling of elections in May 2025.
- Answer
-
The English Devolution White Paper announces a widening and deepening of devolution, and a programme of local government reorganisation. We have committed to work closely with local leaders to explore what support they might need to develop robust proposals for that reorganisation and to implement new structures, including taking decisions to postpone local elections where this will help.
