§ Lord Moynihan asked Her Majesty's Government:
§ What is the annual rent for the offices of Sport England and UK Sport in London; what is the length of the respective leases; and when the next break clauses, if any, take effect. [HL3355]
§ Lord McIntosh of Haringey:The annual rent for Sport England's London offices is £1,116,000; the length of the lease is 15 years, and the next break clause takes effect on 29 September 2007. The annual rent for UK Sport's office is £750,000; the lease is a commercial 15 year lease with no break clauses.
Lord Moynihan asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they plan to relocate any UK Sport functions from London to Loughborough; if so, which functions; and when the relocation will take place.[HL3356]
§ Lord McIntosh of Haringey:Sir Michael Lyons conducted a review of the scope for relocating public sector jobs outside of London and the south-east. His report, published in March 2004, indicated that DCMS had identified a number of possible relocations, one of which was UK Sport.
Discussions are on-going with UK Sport about the implications of this proposal, but there has been no decision concerning the relocation or timing of such a move.
