The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress his Department has made on the relocation of the UK Health Security Agency.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

The Government is conscious of the need for a decision on the future site of the UK Health Security Agency’s high-containment facilities, to ensure the nation’s health is protected long-term. The Government is currently deciding which location is best suited, and a site in Harlow is one of the options being considered. This decision will be taken as part of the ongoing Spending Review process, which is due to conclude on 11 June.
