Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Brexit

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether Departmental workstreams have ceased or are planned to cease as a result of Departmental staff being allocated to work on preparations for the UK leaving the EU.

Answer

As we stepped up work on our no deal preparations we had to pause some of our other work. In doing this we ensured that we had protected our most vital work on: promoting home ownership, levelling up opportunities across the country, putting local government finance on a sustainable footing, tackling rough sleeping, promoting integration and improving the provision of English Language and addressing the issues exposed by the Grenfell Tower tragedy, in particular on Building Safety.
