Tower Hamlets Council
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the answer of 20 April 2026, to Question 124686, on Tower Hamlets Council, what steps are being taken by Tower Hamlets Ministerial Envoys to review grants given by the mayoral administration to third parties in Tower Hamlets.
- Answer
-
The Envoys outlined in their second report (published on 17 March 2026), that partners had expressed that the methodology in awarding grants is not always clear, lacks transparency, and decisions are not always communicated effectively. As set out in the responses of 20 April 2026 to Question UIN 124686 and 27 May to Question UIN 2018, the Envoys are undertaking a ‘deep dive’ project as part of the strengthened intervention package, announced on 17 March 2026, to provide assurance in relation to long-standing concerns, this includes resource allocations (community assets and community grants).
