PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(17 January 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, on what date the Government will inform councils on its decision on postponing local elections.

Asked by:
Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

A decision on the requests made by councils to postpone local elections will be made in due course, recognising the need to give confirmation as soon as practically possible. As set out in my letter of 16 December, these requests will only be considered where it is clear that postponement will help the area to deliver reorganisation and devolution to the most ambitious timeframe.
