§ Mr. JenkinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what plans he has for redeployment of members of his Department out of London and the south-east. [125305]
§ Mr. Charles ClarkeMy Department has over half of its staff outside London and the south-east and we continually review where our business can best be delivered, including consideration of opportunities for relocation where the business case justifies this.
Like other Departments, we are participating in Sir Michael Lyons work on public sector relocation which is due to report to my right hon. Friends the Chancellor and the Deputy Prime Minister in November.
