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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of renaming his Department including signage, stationery, website, business cards and any other associated costs.

Building the homes our country needs is an absolute priority for this government. The name change for the department reflects this government’s renewed focus to deliver more homes and build stronger communities across England.

Any necessary changes will be done in a cost-efficient way with expenditure being kept to a minimum.

This would be a fraction of the cost of splitting up the Ministry as proposed by the opposition.
