Thousands more civil servants are set to be moved out of London as the Government seeks to cut costs and “radically reform the state”.

Under plans announced on Wednesday, the Government will cut the number of civil servants working in London by 12,000 and shift jobs to a series of new regional “campuses” across the country.
