Jim Cunningham – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Cunningham on 2016-06-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many of his Department’s civil servants were based in Coventry in each of the last five years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr Mark Francois

My Department has not had any civil servants based in Coventry in the last five years, or in fact since the department was created under the last Labour government.

My Department has 16 offices across England, with staff working to drive up housing supply, increase the number of home owners, boost local growth and support strong communities with excellent public services. We have 69 employees in the West Midlands in our Birmingham office.
