The final decision on location is a matter for Channel 4 alone, not the UK Government, and therefore I have not had any discussions with Channel 4. I warmly welcome the broadcaster\u2019s agreement to move 300 staff out of London, rising over time. Channel 4 has launched a process in which cities and regions across the UK can pitch to become the home of the broadcaster\u2019s new National HQ and creative hubs. As I stated recently, Glasgow has made an ambitious and creative pitch to be the new home of Channel 4, and I\u2019m absolutely certain it would be the right choice.<\/p>

Civil Servants in the Scotland Office play a central role working with Cabinet Office to provide formal and informal advice across Whitehall on devolution and intergovernmental relations. We also participate in various devolution focussed events including the Devolution and You programme, Devolution Learning Week and the Civil Service Interchange programme. Civil servants new to the department also have access to a wide range of central Civil Service learning opportunities on devolution and intergovernmental relations. We do not hold exact numbers of staff who have attended these courses.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, each nation of the UK leads and hosts an annual SCS conference to learn from each other and build networks across the Policy Profession. These have been held on 28/29 April 2016 in Cardiff, 20/21 April 2017 in Belfast (this included Irish Government Civil Servants too) and 26/27 April 2018 in Edinburgh. It will be for England to host in 2019. All of these events each have around 100 participants across the administrations.<\/p>
