On 20 April 2023, the Hon Member for Middlesbrough asked in Parliament about Government plans for “a full investigation” of what he described as “industrial-scale corruption” in Teesside (Official Report, HC, Volume 731, Column 384). A link to the full debate is available here. Industrial-scale corruption would be considered by the Government to be very serious illegality. The Department’s exchange of letters with the Mayor of Tees Valley has been published online and is available here.
