Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what consultation his officials had with trade union health and safety representatives on the decision to move staff from Great Minster House.

Trade unions were informed of the decision to rent additional space but were not consulted on the matter. As part of the preparation for the move from GMH officials engaged with trade union representatives, including trade union health and safety representatives. This engagement included two site visits to the new office space prior to occupation and a response to a questionnaire raised by trade union representatives related to compliance with all aspects of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations.
