Estate Strategy, published in July 2018.</p><p>To deliver on this commitment, the
Cabinet Office is co-ordinating activity under the Places for Growth programme. This

the skills and capacity in the right places to enable organisations and cities to
flourish</p><p><br>No new public bodies may be created with a base in London and the
South East of England and the location of all new public bodies must be agreed in
collaboration with the Places for Growth Programme. <br> <br>British Transport Police
currently do not have a policy about dispersing jobs from London to other regions
of the UK. However, British Transport Police continuously review where its resources
should be located in light of its national responsibility.</p>
