I've long said there should be serious tax breaks for companies
relocating their HQs out of London to other cities, particularly in
the North. London, quite simply, *is* too full, and it is ludicrous
that the situation has arisen whereby some people are having to travel
two hours up each way to/from work on a daily basis.


Maybe HMG should be the first to reduce the tax burden by doing this
with its own offices? Maybe even outsourcing to India or further
afield?


Hasn't this been Government policy for some time now?

As for major companies moving out of London, I feel most would not, for fear
of losing their 'competitive edge'.
