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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, when he plans to respond to the letter from the hon. Member for Walsall North, of 17 February 2016, on comments made by him on the Walsall borough; and what the reason is for the time taken to respond to that letter.

A reply was sent on 13 April and the delay was caused by a clerical error within the team.
