A senior MP has written to ministers raising concerns about the Treasury's oversight of Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) capital spending.

Chair of the House of Commons' Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Committee, Clive Betts, yesterday wrote to local government minister Dehenna Davison after the Government confirmed last month that DLUHC was working ‘within a new delegation approach' that involved ‘sign off with Treasury on capital spend'.
