The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the potential contribution of Invest Staffordshire to her Department’s delivery of her priorities for (a) Newcastle-under-Lyme and (b) Staffordshire.

Answered by Alex Norris

Invest Staffordshire was launched at UKREIIF in May 2025. It aims to promote key strategic investment sites and economic opportunities in Staffordshire. We hope to see it play an important role in promoting economic growth, attracting private sector investment, and supporting local businesses to scale and innovate.

The Department values this partnership and remains committed to supporting initiatives that deliver real, lasting benefits for residents and businesses across the region.
