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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 29 June 2017 to Question 737, if he will make it his policy to require all Local Enterprise Partnerships to publish the names and remuneration packages of senior staff in their annual report.

Government takes the transparency of Local Enterprise Partnerships extremely seriously. We committed in the Industrial Strategy Green Paper to work with Local Enterprise Partnerships to review their role in delivering local growth and examine how we can spread best practice and strengthen them. We will put forward proposals for implementing this in due course.
