The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has plans to move additional staff from (a) her Department and (b) arms length bodies to office locations outside London.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Department will continue to grow its presence outside London in order to meet its ambition of 50% of roles being outside of London. Currently 45% of staff are in the regions and nations of the United Kingdom. The Department’s Arm’s Length Bodies have their own plans for the number of roles which will be based outside London.
