Urgent questionThursday, 26 March 2026

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government if he will make a statement on local government reorganisation.

Urgent matter raised by an MP

Sir James Cleverly is requesting an urgent statement from the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on local government reorganisation. This is a request for the government to explain its plans or position on restructuring how local councils and authorities are organized across England.

Local government reorganisation affects how services like housing, planning, waste, and social care are delivered to millions of people. It impacts council funding, efficiency, and democratic accountability, making it a significant issue for communities nationwide and a key area of Opposition scrutiny of government policy.

Urgent questions draw responses from across the House — any MP may participate, so we don't show a predicted interest list.
