Devolution
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to increase cross-government collaboration with the devolved Administrations.
Answered by Jim McMahon
The Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State made clear the importance of resetting her department’s relationship with devolved governments so that we are increasing collaboration on shared opportunities and challenges.
The Deputy Prime Minister has held productive meetings with First Ministers and Deputy First Ministers across the UK, and look forward to continuing positive engagement in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Ministers are also working actively with counterparts in the devolved governments, with recent meetings on housing and the Grenfell announcement.
