Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what proportion of her Department’s policy roles are based outside of London.
As of 31st January 2020, 8% of policy roles in the Department were based outside London.
