Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what progress the Government Property Agency has made on the erection of hoarding for the Brunswick site of the Darlington economic campus.

Like my Honourable Friend I am very keen to see the hoarding at the Brunswick site erected as soon as possible.

We have recently appointed Kier for precontract (design) services.

One of the first tasks they will undertake is the completion of the hoarding design.

We aim to have the hoarding proposals in place so that we may commence installation as soon as planning permission is granted.
