To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of proposals within the English Devolution White Paper on the (a) borders and (b) status of ceremonial counties.

Where areas develop proposals for local government reorganisation, we will work with councils to consider any implications for the ceremonial counties.
