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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will publish all correspondence between her Department and the Commissioner for Public Appointments in relation to the appointment of the MHCLG Lead Non-Executive Director on 21 October 2024.

I will place a copy of the department’s letter to the Commissioner for Public Appointments in the Library of the House in the coming days. The Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments also publishes an annual list of direct appointments that the Commissioner has been consulted on.
