Written Question
Teesworks Joint Venture Independent Review
Monday 5th February 2024

Asked by: Simon Clarke (Conservative - Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what the total cost was of the Independent inquiry into Teesworks.

Answered by Simon Hoare

Given the seriousness of allegations made in this House, it was only right that we answered the Mayor's calls to establish a review. This was a thorough review undertaken by qualified individuals, which does result in costs to the taxpayer. When this is finalised we will make it publicly available.
