PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Department for Education: Buildings (8 December 2016)

The Skills Funding Agency, which became a Department for Education agency following the announcements in July of changes to Ministerial responsibilities, has an existing strategy to shrink its estate. Since 2010, the Skills Funding Agency has reduced its accommodation footprint and it has announced the closure of three further offices - Birmingham, Reading and Plymouth - by 31 March 2017.

We have no other plans to close any offices in the Department for Education estate or those of our agencies. We will continue to keep our estate under review to ensure our business is operating efficiently and effectively.
