Coastal Areas: Departmental Responsibilities
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if the Government will appoint a Minister for Coastal Communities.
Answered by Alex Norris
As the Minister for Local Growth my role is to promote economic growth in all parts of the country including coastal communities. Our coastal economies and communities add unique value to the country and offer significant growth potential.
As set out in the English Devolution White Paper we will give local leaders powers to drive forward Local Growth Plans to accelerate regional growth and productivity. This will drive the government’s central mission of economic growth and put more money in people’s pockets.
