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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what the responsibilities of the Parlimentary Under-Secretary for Coastal Communities will be; and whether Hull will be classed as a coastal community for this purpose.

My responsibilities are on the DCLG website and can be found at:

Hull is classed as a coastal community under the Government’s Coastal Communities Fund which covers both coastal and estuarine settlements. It has received two grant awards from the Fund to date totalling over £700,000 to support projects promoting growth and jobs in the city.
