Lord Scriven – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Scriven on 2016-04-26.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what business case they have prepared regarding the move of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills office from Sheffield to London, and whether they will publish that document.

Baroness Neville-Rolfe

The proposal to move policy roles to London forms part of a wider strategic case to enable the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to deliver £350m of savings and be more effective in delivering Ministerial priorities. The proposals were not formed on the basis of any individual business case for a single location and the consultation on the proposal is continuing.
