Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many building control officers were employed in each local authority area in (a) 2010 and (b) the latest year for which information is available.
The Department does not collect this information.
Employment matters are for local authorities as the independent employers to decide. The Department does collect certain headline workforce data but this does not include an analysis and breakdown of job roles within the sector.
