Topical Questions

Question
If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.
Answer

My Department continues to work to create prosperous, resilient and cohesive communities. Today's growth estimate demonstrates that we have been right to support families in the economy through the downturn. We had a plan for the recession and we have a plan for the recovery. Stepping up help for people to stay in their homes, the transformation of front-line services through initiatives such as Total Place, the opening up of local services and public data, extending scrutiny powers and the slashing of red tape all play a vital role in driving growth.
