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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with Derby City Council on the re-development of brownfield sites in the city with support from the grant announced on 28 January 2015 to help develop such sites following the announcement of a £4.4 million fund to help unlock potential sites.

The Secretary of State has not held any meetings with Derby City Council in connection with the re-development of brownfield land or the funding made available to local authorities to develop local development orders for housing on brownfield land in January.

Derby City Council did not submit a bid to the £4.4 million fund.
