Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Edaroth

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 7 January 2026 to Question 97134 on MHCLG: Departmental Responsibilities, whether the Minister for Housing and Planning discussed government business with Edaroth during his attendance at Housing Group events at the Labour Party Conference in September 2025.

Answer

I had no meetings with Edaroth at Labour Party Annual Conference 2025 and shared no platforms with representatives of the company.

I participated in a number of advertised events at the conference, including a panel organised by Labour Housing Group, in which I set out the government’s overall approach to housing and planning. I did not discuss other Departmental business at any of these events.
