Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward proposals to relocate (a) staff and (b) offices of his Department to Brighton; and if he will make a statement.

The Department for Transport is a federated organisation comprising DfT (Central), the headquarters functions responsible mainly for policy issues, and five executive agencies responsible for the delivery of various services.

DfT Central has no current plans to relocate staff or offices to Brighton. The Department for Transport (including our Executive Agencies) will consider opportunities for relocation as they arise, for example, through departmental reorganisation and reviews of estates requirements.
