Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they are making towards reaching their 'Places for Growth' target to relocate 50 per cent of UK-based senior civil service roles outside London by 2030.

The Places for Growth Programme has relocated 30.9% of the UK-based Senior Civil Service outside of London since March 2020. The programme continues to engage closely with departments to accelerate SCS role relocations outside London in order to meet the 2030 50% commitment.
