Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what progress has been made on discussions between the Government and the Learned Societies on their continued tenancy at New Burlington House.

The Department has written to the Learned Societies and has invited them to work with us to find a viable solution that will enable the Learned Societies to deliver public value and remain in situ at New Burlington House. Discussions with the Learned Societies are ongoing.
