Commenting on today's publication of Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses, showing 11,000 more staff in Central Government than last year, Vincent Cable MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, said: "It is staggering that the Treasury claims to need over a thousand civil servants in London, all of them occupying expensive office space."

"Hundreds of millions of pounds a year could be saved if Central Government was slimmed down and moved out of London."
