Debate between Neil Shastri-Hurst and Anna Turley

Thursday 25th June 2026 Commons Chamber

[Anna Turley]

The hon. Gentleman makes a really important point. We have to get the balance right. We have many fantastic civil servants embedded in their communities and delivering for them, which is great, but I am sure that he will agree with me on the importance of the opportunity that civil service roles offer to stimulate growth in regions across our nations. I am sure that he would support that. I look forward to continuing this discussion with him.
