Regional Ministers: Visits

Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many official visits regional Ministers have made to each constituency in the area for which they are responsible. [192828]

Hazel Blears: Constituencies visited by regional Ministers (in this capacity) are set out as follows. Due to the role of regional Minister, which involves regional or sub-regional meetings, the Minister usually attends a meeting held in that area rather than visiting a constituency per se. The following information is correct up to and including 7 March 2008.
