Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions he has had with retail trade associations on the matter of Intu going into administration; and if he will make a statement.
We understand this will be a worrying time for Intu’s employees and their families and stand ready to support those who may be affected.
I hold regular calls with non-food retailers and business representative organisations where I have had the chance to speak to and hear directly from a wide range of organisations and businesses.
