answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) is a continually evolving portfolio of the government’s most complex and high risk projects. Direct comparisons of the GMPP across years should therefore be treated with caution. Projects join and leave the GMPP throughout the year and it is therefore likely that a simple comparison across two time points will refer to different sets of projects.</p><p>At the end of June 2016 (i.e. the end of the Quarter 1 reporting period for 2016-17), there were no officials in the Department for Communities and Local Government, my Department's predecessor, working on GMPP projects.</p><p>GMPP data for December 2018 (Q3 2018/19) has not yet been cleared and finalised. At the end of September 2018 (i.e. the latest submitted data, at end of the Quarter 2 reporting period for 2018-19), there were no officials in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government working on GMPP projects.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 31/01/2019 13:58:12 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
