Councillors
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 16 December 2025 to Question 95327 on Councillors, whether the £120 million includes the cost of mayoral offices where mayors take on the role of Police and Crime Commissioners.
- Answer
-
The £120 million cost estimating the savings through a potential reduction in the number of councillors does not include the costs of mayoral officers where mayors take on the role of Police and Crime Commissioners as this was not considered a linked cost of local government reorganisation. The £130 million cost estimate from the abolition of Police and Crime Commissioners does include the costs of both Mayors and newly created Policing and Crime Boards taking on the functions.
