The government’s rebranding of the Department for Communities and Local Government to include housing has been welcomed by the construction and housebuilding industry.
It will be renamed as the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government with Sajid Javid remaining in place as secretary of state for the department.
Javid said: “Building the homes our country needs is an absolute priority for this government and so I’m delighted the prime minister has asked me to serve in this role. The name change for the department reflects this government’s renewed focus to deliver more homes and build strong communities across England.”
