The Times has revealed new allegations concerning the
behaviour of Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick. Last year Jenrick - along with
junior housing minister Jake Berry - intervened in the process of awarding
hundreds of millions of pounds of public money to local areas under a
regeneration scheme called the Towns Fund. The newspaper alleges that in
September of 2019 - a few months before the General Election - Jenrick and
Berry personally chose 61 of the 101 towns which would each receive £25m. Typically,
the selection would have been made by civil servants acting impartially. No
fewer than 60 of the areas selected were in Conservative-held seats or target
seats to be won at the election. Read more on Estate Agent Today.
