Where are the jobs relocating?
The choice of location is for departments, taking into account their own business needs and an informed assessment of locations. The DCLG has published draft guidance setting out how Government departments should take account of regional economic balance considerations when choosing locations for work being transferred out of London and the South East. The guidance explains the details of how departments should reflect Government policy in the decisions they make about new locations for their business. The guidance does not attempt to provide a list of places that will be suitable for public sector relocations. Regional Development Agencies (RDAs)have been asked to produce fact sheets about specific locations in their region for use by Government departments undertaking relocation appraisals.
