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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the letter from the Tees Valley Mayor issued on 27 September 2024 in response to the Tees Valley Review on the Teesworks project; and what are the reasons for their delay in replying.

We are considering the mayor’s update from September 2024 and will respond in due course. It is right that we consider this matter carefully.
