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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to paragraph 19 of her Department's Guidance on planning propriety: planning casework decisions, published in December 2021, if she will place in the Library a copy of the records of all discussions held (a) by her Department and (b) between her Department and other government departments on the latest Chinese Embassy planning application that have not otherwise been made available to the public via the Planning Inspectorate, including information held on Ministers’ (i) non-corporate and (ii) corporate electronic devices.

As has been the case under successive administrations, government does not normally disclose internal communications.
