Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: Flags

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what flags she plans to fly outside her Department other than the Union flag in the next 12 months; and on which days each flag will be flown.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is a minor tenant in the buildings it occupies. At only one, the Department's second HQ at Wolverhampton, does it control of what flags are flown. In the next 12 months at the Wolverhampton HQ, the Ministry will fly flags in addition to the Union flag to mark events of national and international significance, as directed by the Department of Culture, Media and Sports Ceremonial Team.
