Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, 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 Education does not plan to relocate its staff or offices to Brighton.

Following the Department's Estates Review in 2012, it was announced that the Department would rationalise the existing estate from 12 core sites to 6, while maximising the efficiency of the retained sites. This has now been accomplished and the 6 remaining properties are located in Coventry, Darlington, London, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield.
