To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to her Department's document entitled MHCLG: spending over £25,000, April 2025, published on 30 May 2025, for what services her Department paid 23 RED Limited for New Towns Event Planning; and what were the events.

The New Towns Taskforce delivered a series of public engagement events in existing new towns to understand from those with lived experience the legacy of the post-war new towns.

23 RED Limited provided event management services for these events.

Findings from the public engagement events will be used in the Taskforce’s Final Report, due to be submitted to ministers this summer.
