Closed petition: Move the UK Parliament and government departments to the North of England

Closed on

We want the government and Parliament to move the UK Parliament and government departments out of London to the North of England e.g. Leeds.

We believe the only way the country will change how it invests in the regions is to move UK Parliament out of London. Currently, many businesses and investments flock to London. We think this is in a large part due it being the home of Parliament. Moving Parliament and MPs to the North can provide fresh perspectives and drive investment in the North. It is time that UK, like other countries became more balanced with respect to power and investment.
