<p>The Government is committed to levelling-up through relocating high quality Civil
Service Jobs. At Budget 2020 we set out our ambitions to relocate 22,000 roles out
of London by 2030, bringing new jobs and investment to all nations and parts of the
UK, with senior roles being created in areas such as Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff, Darlington
and Wolverhampton. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster during his time as Chief
Secretary to the Treasury encouraged Departments to frontload the majority of moves
over this next Spending Review. I can confirm that we now have early commitments to
move up to 15,000 civil service roles by 2024/25.</p><p> </p><p>Departments will decide
on their locations taking into account a range of factors including skills, transport
links and capacity to meet their needs and flourish in their chosen locations, as
well as ensuring locations are suitable for the long term success and sustainability
of the civil service.</p><p> </p>
