To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how many posts in her Department have been relocated from London to each other region in each of the last 10 years.

DFID has undertaken three programmes of post relocations from London to our second headquarters site in East Kilbride in Scotland over the last 10 years. Available figures show plans for relocation of 85 posts over the period 2004-06. A further 70 posts were relocated over the period 2010-11. 41 posts were relocated over the period 2012-13. Relocation of individual posts from London to Scotland is also considered on a continuous and case-by-case basis as posts become vacant or are re-structured.
