Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what representations she has received from tenants of the New Covent Garden market Authority on that market's redevelopment in the last five years.

Defra Ministers have received various representations from New Covent Garden Market tenants in the past five years about the market redevelopment.

These have taken the form of formal correspondence and face to face meetings between the Covent Garden Tenants Association (CGTA) and the Minister, held at Defra and at New Covent Garden Market.

The representations have addressed a broad range of concerns about the plans for the redevelopment, its implementation and the role of the CGMA.
