We know it is important to have a good breadth of civil service jobs out in the country, but it is also important to have a diverse civil service. Will the Minister explain what he will do to ensure that the top jobs in the civil service better reflect the nation they seek to serve?

I could not agree more. The hon. Gentleman is right to champion diversity, which is at the heart of the Places for Growth programme. If we want a meritocracy, we need diversity as a part of that, recognising, as the Prime Minister has frequently said, that talent is equally distributed but opportunity often is not. People should be able to fulfil their careers closer to home. Moving senior-level jobs—for example, with the Treasury in Darlington—is a key part of enabling people from all backgrounds to access the very best jobs in our civil service.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to relocate staff from London to other parts of England to support combined authorities to deliver their responsibilities; and if he will make a statement.
The joint Cities and Local Growth Unit – a partnership between the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy - already has teams in each region of England who work closely with combined authorities to support the delivery of their responsibilities.
In addition, at Budget 2017, the Government announced that mayoral combined authorities will receive £12 million of new funding over the next two years to further enhance their capacity.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 25 July 2017 to Question 5173, how many children attending St Francis of Assisi Primary School were relocated to an alternative school.
Kensington Aldridge Academy has delayed the start of its academic school year until Monday 11 September, with a week of off-site residential activities. It will open in its new temporary buildings off nearby Scrubs Lane on Monday 18 September. The expectation is that the vast majority of pupils will be able to start the school year.
The on-going work at Grenfell Tower itself will clearly determine when the school can return to its permanent premises, but we do not currently expect that to be before the summer term of this academic year.
St Francis of Assisi Primary School returned to its premises on 26 June. School admissions are managed at a local level. In this situation we are in regular contact with the Tri-Borough Admissions Team for Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham and the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, and at this time we have not been made aware of parents of any children attending St Francis of Assisi requesting to move to an alternative school.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to paragraph 6.7 of Budget 2016, what plans additional to the move of 5,700 staff from Whitehall to 10 South Colonnade, have been made to reduce significantly the number of civil servants working in Central London.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to paragraph 6.7 of Budget 2016, what plans additional to the move of 5,700 staff from Whitehall to 10 South Colonnade, have been made to reduce significantly the number of civil servants working in Central London.
In central London, of 181 offices in 2010, only 54 remain. Increased mobility and flexibility will further reduce demand for office space in central London as fewer staff need to be in offices full-time. Rationalisation will continue, enabling more multi-departmental use of HQ buildings and for civil servants to move to Canary Wharf and Croydon where property costs are lower.
We plan to move to around 20 efficient, fit-for-purpose buildings in central London by 2025, supported by smarter working.
Any proposed relocation is done based on the operational needs of individual departments, and each individual department is responsible for determining workforce numbers remaining in central London.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department plans to relocate civil servants outside of central London as part of the 2018 move to 10 South Colonnade.

Relocating to the East London Hub will enable us to reduce the number of leases required on central London property, delivering anticipated net savings of over £20million per annum.
It is vitally important that we make a country that works for everyone and it is right that the government supports growth strategies across the country. This hub is just one step towards achieving this vision. We are supporting Departments in moving to smarter working, creating multi-Department Hubs outside central London and across the UK.
Any proposed relocation is done based on the operational needs of individual departments and each individual Department is responsible for determining its workforce needs.
