Lord Storey – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Storey on 2016-01-29.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, as part of the Northern Powerhouse initiative, what are their policies for the decentralisation of civil servants.

Lord Bridges of Headley

The Civil Service has a significant presence across the UK and we are considering how new government hubs, in strategic locations across the country, will help to make sure that we have an efficient and effective Civil Service at the same time as we consolidate the government estate.

Any proposed relocation is done based on the operational needs of Departments.
