Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether his Department plans to close the (a) Ofgem office on East Tyndall Street Cardiff, (b) (i) Registrar of Companies and (ii) Community Interest Companies offices on Crown Way Cardiff and (c) Intellectual Property Office on Cardiff Road Newport; and if he will make a statement.
There are no plans to close the offices of the Registrar of Companies and the Regulator of Community Interest Companies in Cardiff or the Intellectual Property Office in Newport.
Ofgem’s team in Wales is based in East Tyndall Street on a temporary basis. Ofgem is expecting to relocate the team when a suitable Government Hub becomes available in Cardiff.
We continue to work with the Government Property Agency to ensure our estate is an enabler for the delivery of Civil Service transformation, regional growth and the Government’s vision to strengthen the Union.
