Government Hubs: Birmingham

Asked by David SimmondsConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 22 January 2025UIN 23918

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 16 December 2024 to Question 18376 on MHCLG: Birmingham, what other Government hubs operate in Birmingham; and whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of merging the departmental office with other Government buildings in Birmingham.

Answered by Alex Norris

Apart from our current location at 23 Stephenson Street, the department does not hold information on other Government hubs operating in or planned by the Government Property Agency for Birmingham. We made the decision to close our Birmingham office to consolidate and further develop our presence in the West Midlands region at our existing second headquarters in Wolverhampton.
