The Prime Minister announced structural changes to the UK government to prioritize economic growth, devolution, and strategic oversight. Key reforms include establishing No.10 North as the hub for local economic growth and devolution, transferring functions from MHCLG and HM Treasury. The Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet (OPMC) will consolidate No.10, No.10 North, and core Cabinet Office roles, alongside an AI Taskforce and AI adoption strategies. A new OneGov Delivery Agency will manage operational services within the Cabinet Office. Several Cabinet Office functions will relocate to other departments, including the Office for Equality and Opportunity to MHCLG, and the Public Sector Fraud Authority to DWP. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) expanded to integrate digital services and online safety, while the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (DBIST) focuses on science and innovation. Responsibilities from the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) will be redistributed across departments to align with economic and social priorities.
