Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will place in the Library a copy of the written evidence submitted by his Department to the High Court in respect of the judicial review being brought by Christchurch Borough Council scheduled for a hearing on 30 July 2018.

The written evidence submitted by the Department to the High Court in respect of this judicial review is already available to all the parties concerned – that is the Court, the Claimant, and the Interested Parties – and this matter is currently before the Court. I will arrange for a copy of the evidence to be placed in the Library of the House following the Court’s determination of this matter
