[Lia Nici (Great Grimsby) (Con)]

4. What steps he is taking to encourage local growth in Great Grimsby.

[The Minister of State, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (Mr Simon Clarke)]

Great Grimsby is the Government’s pilot town deal. We are already investing over £40 million across Government to deliver local priorities. We will provide further significant investment through the £3.6 billion towns fund and we have already delivered funding to help to develop local plans for Great Grimsby’s future prosperity and growth.

[Lia Nici]

Will the Minister let me know what the Government are doing to address the number of vacant commercial properties on our high streets, including in constituencies such as mine?
