At that stage we will host a round-table with representatives from the sector to invite their input into this important matter.</p><p>We continue to work with other departments, to ensure local authorities support existing businesses, organisations or activities that are an integral part of local communities, at the same time as supporting new housing and local growth.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 15/01/2018 17:42:48 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
