Departments: Marketing

Andrew Stunell
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what factors underlay her decision to change the branding of her Department from DCLG to Communities and Local Government; and if she will make a statement.

Angela E. Smith
The legal name of the Department remains the Department for Communities and Local Government.

In order to emphasise the mission of the Department, we use the term Communities and Local Government to refer to the Department wherever possible.

Andrew Stunell
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government if she will list the meetings that she or her Ministerial colleagues attended where the re-branding of her Department from DCLG to Communities and Local Government was discussed.

Angela E. Smith
I refer the hon. Member to the answer today (138727). The Department was not re-branded from DCLG, so there have been no such meetings.
