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

To ask His Majesty's Government how they intend to monitor progress on the implementation of the 28 recommendations in the Tees Valley Review; and whether they intend to make their findings public.

On 7 March, the Secretary of State responded to the Mayor’s initial response to the independent review, acknowledging that the Authority is working collaboratively to engage with the recommendations from the review and working out how best to implement them, and requesting a further report in six months’ time.

When the Mayor’s further response is received, we will issue a Government response as soon as possible.
