Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress he has made on his Department's policy to create a second headquarters in Birmingham and a northern hub in Leeds.
The department has opened its new hubs in Birmingham at 2 Snow Hill and in Leeds at 7/8 Wellington Place. All core Department jobs, across all grades and professions, are being advertised in our new hubs with very limited exceptions. As of the end of 2021, 134 roles have been filled in Birmingham and 128 in Leeds, including Senior Civil Service roles.
