Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what estimate her Department has made of the gross annual administrative cost of No10 North; and whether it will be funded from the existing (a) Cabinet Office, (b) HM Treasury or (c) MHCLG budgets.

Gross annual administrative costs cannot yet be provided. The costs for running No.10 North will be found from existing departmental budgets. Teams transferring into No.10 North from other Government Departments as part of machinery of Government moves are expected to transfer with the relevant budget currently available to them.
