Business of the House

The Government had let it be known that an announcement on the location of the headquarters of the Green investment bank would be made in February. Even though February had 29 days this year, no announcement had been made by yesterday. What we did get was an e-mail indicating that the decision had been further delayed. There has been no written statement and nothing on the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills website. Will the Government ensure that a written statement is forthcoming so that we know what is going on with the Green investment bank, at least as a courtesy to the 32 Members across the House who have supported its being located in their constituency?
