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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they recognise the concept of regions only in England; or whether they recognise them also within Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The Prime Minister has been clear that rebuilding the country requires UK wide delivery, working effectively with all levels of government, in every nation and indeed in every region.

The UK Government is directly responsible for working with Mayors and regional partners such as local government to drive delivery across England’s regions. We also work closely with regional local partners and in collaboration with the Devolved Governments to deliver the UK Government's responsibilities across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
