New Secretary of State writes to Grenfell residents 10/05/2018 Labelled as Tenants

Following the appointment of Sajid Javid as Home Secretary the new Secretary of State for Housing, James Brokenshire, has written to Grenfell residents to reassure them of his support.  

 

James Brokenshire, MP for Old Bexley & Sidcup was appointed Secretary of State for Housing, Communities & Local Government on 30 April and in a press release following his appointment he said:  

 

"I am determined to get Britain building the homes our country needs so everyone can afford a place to call their own.

 

One of my top priorities is going to be ensuring everyone affected by the Grenfell Tower fire gets the support they need and we learn lessons from the tragedy so something like this can never happen again.

 

As the son of a former chief executive of a council local government is in the blood for me. So I look forward to working with councils across the country by supporting them to deliver quality public services and build strong integrated communities."

 

One of his first actions as the new Secretary of State has been to write to Grenfell residents to assure them of his continued support, notwithstanding the fact that both the former Housing Secretary Sajid Javid and the former Housing Minister Alok Sharma are no longer in the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
