Michael Gove has said he 'wholeheartedly supports' temporarily relocating the House of Lords out of London while extensive restoration works are carried out
"And if the House of Lords were to relocate to Stoke-on-Trent, I think you could be assured of a warm welcome in one of the most attractive places in England."
The Sunday Times reported over the weekend that Mr Gove proposed Stoke-on-Trent, which is a 165-mile drive from London and played host to a recent away day for the cabinet, would be an"excellent home" for peers. "For all the gimmicks, slogans and press releases, on every measure of levelling up, we are going backwards," she said."I think [ministers] are really quite angry with the House of Lords at the moment and therefore [want to] kick them out. It's punishment," she told BBC Radio Four's The World This Weekend.
