Steve Barclay – 2021 Comments on Location of National Cyber Force

The comments made by Steve Barclay, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, on 3 October 2021.

The National Cyber Force is at the cutting edge of our country’s defence.

Basing the campus at Samlesbury in Lancashire will bring high skilled and well paid jobs to the area, building on our drive to move key public sector roles outside of London.

It underlines this government’s important levelling up agenda and our commitment to spread opportunity across the country.
