To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether civil servants receiving London weighting have to work in an office within Greater London.

Decisions on pay, including London weighting, are delegated to individual departments for grades below the Senior Civil Service (SCS). The SCS pay framework is managed centrally and only operates a national pay range.
