Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether the new departmental site in Victoria Dock, Caernarfon is owned by the Government or is rented property.

Although commercial offices at Victoria Dock were considered as part of an options appraisal for the relocation of Defra staff based in Caernarfon, the decision has been made to relocate to Gwynedd Council’s offices at Penrallt.

All staff currently located in the Welsh Government offices at North Penrallt will relocate to the Council offices.
