Question to the Cabinet Office:
What steps his Department is taking to move civil service jobs out of London in line with the Government's Industrial Strategy.
We have established the Places for Growth Programme to relocate Civil Service roles into the regions and nations. This will see at least 1,000 roles moved by 2022 and thousands more by 2030.
The programme is reinforcing the Government’s commitment to driving economic growth across the UK through local industrial strategies, devolution deals and city deals.
