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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many departmental Senior Civil Service away days have taken place in calendar year 2026 to date; in what specific venues; at what cost; and if there was any associated social or team-building activity at public expense.

There have been no departmental Senior Civil Service away days in 2026 to date. The Department has held one off-site one day conference focused on placed-based delivery and strengthening our performance. A suitable free government building was not available at the time. There was no associated social or team-building activity at public expense at the event.
