Justice written question – answered at on 13 October 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the cost to the public purse was of relocating the Office of Public Guardian from London to Manchester.
As part of the Office of the Public Guardian's (OPGs) Transformation Programme it has been carrying out a phased relocation of work from London to the Midlands.
The relocation project started in 2009 with the opening of an office at 54 Hagley road, Birmingham and continued with the opening of an office at the Pearson Building, Nottingham in 2010.
The final phase of the relocation project will see the OPG reducing its remaining London presence to a limited number of core corporate and operational roles and relocating the remainder of its business to the Axis building in Birmingham. The estimated total of estate relocation and staff exit costs for this final phase is £6.9 million.
The OPG is not relocating any of its functions to Manchester.
