“His appointment is a positive sign of MHCLG’s determination to be powerful advocate for local government across central government.”
Cllr James Jamieson, Chairman of the Local Government Association, said:
“It’s great to see one of local government’s most senior councillors join the MHCLG Board as a non-executive director.
“Gary’s long-term and continuing experience as a council leader, his work as LGA Chairman and recently as our building safety spokesperson will prove to be invaluable to the ministerial team and senior officials.
