Secretary of State for Levelling Up Michael Gove has appeared to support moving the House of Lords to "Sunderland or Stoke" while London's Palace of Westminster is revamped.
The Cabinet Minister was delivering a keynote speech at the Local Government Association conference taking place in Harrogate earlier this week, when he made the comments.
After finishing his speech and exiting the conference stage to leave the auditorium, the Levelling Up Secretary was quizzed by Lib Dem Sunderland city councillor Stephen O’Brien, on whether he would bring the House of Lords to Sunderland or not.
