Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to make an assessment of the effect of relocating staff to regional hubs on (a) staff turnover and (b) available expertise.

Workforce planning is primarily the responsibility of each department to determine based
on their individual operational and policy requirements. Each department has their own
spending agreements with HM Treasury and are responsible for ensuring they have the
right workforce and capability in place to deliver their commitments. It will be for each
department to monitor recruitment and turnover within the regional hubs

Plans are in place for the creation of multi-departmental government Hubs in strategic
locations outside London, which will further consolidate our office estate, whilst helping to
attract and retain staff by stronger collaboration between departments and enabling staff to
grow careers locally.
