Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate she has made of the number of employees who will be impacted by the closure of the Department’s office in Truro; and what assessment she has made of the potential impact of this closure on those employees.

As at the 30 November 2024 there were 15 MHCLG employees based in the Truro office. The Department are consulting staff and Trade Unions on the decision to close the Truro office. This consultation will consider the impact on the individuals affected with a view to putting in place measures to mitigate that impact and enable them to continue to perform their roles effectively.
