answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>We carefully consider each request for funding. Memorial 2007 approached MHCLG last year and unfortunately the Department was unable to provide support at that time. We are supportive of the aims of the monument and the organisation. The suffering caused by slavery and the slave trade is among the most dishonourable and abhorrent chapters in human history. The International Slavery Museum in Liverpool is an example of a memorial that educates citizens about this dark time in our shared history.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 29/10/2019 17:51:16 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>Towns were chosen on the basis of a robust selection methodology. This took into account various qualitative and quantitative indicators including income deprivation, skills, productivity, EU exit exposure, economic shocks, investment opportunities, and policy alignment.</p><p>The government is unable to publish the full selection methodology used to choose the 100 Towns that will work towards Town Deals at this time. This is because it includes information that relates to the formulation and development of government policy which is still live and ongoing. It will also feed into and inform future funding policy, including the competitive element of the Towns Fund.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 29/10/2019 16:24:03 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2019 answer text <p>Staff working in our Departmental Operations Centre (DOC) include a combination of staff who have been recruited through open and fair competition, volunteers who have come forward as our preparations for a no deal exit scenario have increased and other staff who have been asked to work in the DOC as part of those preparations. We have not maintained a central breakdown of those working in the DOC against these different circumstances.
