Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Cabinet Office press release entitled Thousands of Civil Service roles moved out of London in latest reform to the state, published on 14 May 2025, whether civil servants who are relocated outside of London will receive resettlement payments.

The majority of roles moved from London will occur through natural churn. Departments have delegated responsibility for managing relocations in accordance with the Civil Service Management Code. Civil Servants can voluntarily relocate in line with their department’s relocation policy.
