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

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the response to the Secretary of the State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities from the Tees Valley Mayor in September, what assessment they have made of whether all 28 recommendations from the Tees Valley Review, published 23 January, will be carried out effectively and at the best value for the taxpayer.

We received a response from the Mayor on the recommendations made by the independent Tees Valley Review. We are currently reviewing that response against the recommendations made and we will publish our response as soon as our review is completed.
