the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission
Answer from Hansard
The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Angela Rayner)
It is a privilege to be appointed as Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State, and to answer questions from hon. Members on the important issues I now have responsibility for at such a challenging time for our communities. Councils across the country, including those under best value intervention, are feeling the strain after a decade of financial mismanagement by the previous Administration. I am determined to work constructively with both the council and the commissioners to reset our relationship with Birmingham and support its recovery to ensure that local public services are fit for purpose.
