00:00Some civil servants based in London are being offered relocation packages to move to a new
00:06government base in Manchester. The move is linked to plans for No. 10 North, which the government
00:12says is already operating. The new office aims to bring more decision-making outside Westminster
00:18and support greater devolution. For London, the change could affect teams currently working in
00:24Whitehall departments as some roles are transferred away from the capital. Officials willing to
00:31relocate are expected to receive support packages. The government says the plans will help spread
00:37opportunities, while critics may question the impact on London's public service workforce and
00:43expertise base.
