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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if they will publish the payments made to officials in their Department for relocation to government offices outside London in 2021.

No relocation expenses have been incurred in 2021/22. Defra's Places for Growth approach is for new roles to be based outside of London rather than through compulsory relocation. Staff are free to relocate outside of London to one of our alternative locations, but this is on a voluntary basis.
