Departmental Estate

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which buildings and sites used by his Department and related agencies (a) have ceased to be used in the last year and (b) will be closed under current plans for relocation.

Answer: The property portfolio of the Northern Ireland Office and its agencies has not reduced in the last year. The Youth Justice Agency's Juvenile Justice Centre in Rathgael is planned for closure in the 2006–07 fiscal year, and will be relocated to a different area of the current site. The FSNI currently occupies part of a PSNI site and has long-term plans to relocate from its current location. The PSNI would continue to use the site and neither the site or the buildings would be closed due to this future relocation.NIO staff in two rented buildings will be transferred to a building leased from DFP within the Stormont Estate.
