Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Machinery of Government changes: Fact Sheet, published on 22 July 2026, what the estimated cost is of establishing No.10 North, including accommodation, staffing and operational costs.

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 on GOV.UK.
