No 10 North: Travel
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the No10 press release entitled No10 North open for business as the Government’s new situation room for making Britain better, of 23 July 2026, what is the estimated yearly cost of (a) civils servants, (b) Ministers and (c) special advisers travelling between No10 North in Manchester and the Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet in London.
Answered by Cabinet Office
No10 North is central to the Prime Minister’s commitment to get good growth in every postcode, drive devolution, and bring Government closer to the communities it serves. Mayors, employers, councils, and public services, will work in equal partnership with central government so that decisions about this country’s economic future are no longer only taken in Westminster. The cost of establishing No 10 North is covered by existing departmental budgets. Staffing costs are regularly published as part of the Cabinet Office’s Organogram, available on gov.uk. The Prime Minister splits his time between Downing Street and No10 North as part of his commitment to making government work for every part of the country. Further details were made available on the Government's Machinery of Government changes, including the establishment of No10 North, in the First Secretary of State's Statement on the 02 September, Official Report, Column 173-196.
