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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the Answer of 19 October 2022 to Question 63322, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the provision of civil service support for levelling up directors on (a) workload levels and (b) other departmental business.

As my answer of 19 October 2022 made clear - the recruitment of Levelling Up Directors is still underway and a further statement will be made in due course including how they will be supported.
