Mark Prisk was appointed Minister for Housing in May 2010.[1]
He was previously appointed Minister of State at the Department for Business, Information and Skills in May 2010.[2]
Sheffield Forgemasters Controversy
Mark Prisk received a letter dated 25th May 2010 from Conservative Party donor Andrew Cook arguing that a proposed £80 million loan to the firm Sheffield Forgemasters should be cancelled. Labour MP Clive Betts argued that there were several letters submitted to the consultation over the loan but the only letters arguing against the loan came from Andrew Cook.[3] Cook wrote to Mark Prisk again on the 9th June arguing that the loan would be "in breach of EU State Aid Regulations".[4]
The loan was cancelled by the government on the 17th June. Mark Prisk argued that "The department did receive an email from Mr Cook's company and whilst it was noted like every other representation, it had no bearing on the decision-making process."[5]
