Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to deliver civil service jobs in her Department to Stoke-on-Trent.

The Home Office employs Civil Servants across the UK and is already a major employer in some towns and smaller cities. The Home Office intends to go beyond the conventional Government footprint and size to identify appropriate locations where we could locate future job opportunities.

This will further enhance representation within the Home Office of the communities we serve and support the economic growth across the UK. The long term plans are being developed and we will share them in due course.
