	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>A dedicated Departmental Operations Centre (DOC) will manage and lead preparations in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Staff working in the DOC will also manage work associated with the UK's exit from the EU in any other scenario. We do not routinely separately record no-deal work from other Brexit work. MHCLG’s normal operations include some out of hours working alongside standard daytime working hours. <br> <br> To support this pattern, we currently estimate the Department will require approximately 200 FTE, using a mix of grades but coming mainly from HEO and Grade 7 staff. This estimate will be subject to on-going review to ensure it reflects any change in circumstances or requirements</p><p><br></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 05/11/2019 14:52:03 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry previous answer version 1032 answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

On 6 September we announced the 100 places we have invited to develop proposals for Town Deals as part of the £3.6 billion Towns Fund announced on 27 July. 45 of these places are in the Northern Powerhouse, 18 of which are in the North East. Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland will also benefit from £600 million of investment in jobs and infrastructure under the North of Tyne Devolution Deal, whilst the Tees Valley Devolution Deal is worth £450 million. Additionally, of the £3.4 billion of Local Growth Funding that has gone to the Northern Powerhouse, £505.6 million has been allocated to the North East and Tees Valley Local Enterprise Partnerships. <br> <br> b) The position of Minister for the Northern Powerhouse was first created in 2015 to drive economic growth in the North and ensure the needs of the North of England are represented in government. I was appointed Minister for the Northern Powerhouse and Local Growth in June 2017 and I was re-appointed on 25 July 2019 as Minister of State attending Cabinet, showing that the Northern Powerhouse remains at the heart of this government’s agenda.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 22/10/2019 11:50:43 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry previous answer version 685 answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
