I've been advocating moving the government out of London for years, would save billions.

The Palace of Westminister is apparently delapidated and selling it off to private sector could save billions in repair bills

Whilst I have no pleasure in saying this, I'm afraid that we all are! All males that is. Every male walking this earth today is a direct descendant of a single male. This means we are all related, the only variable being how closely.

Graham could be my 548th cousin twice removed! Perish the thought!

You're assuming JC is from this planet. I'm not convinced.

Actually there is quite a lot of high-tech industry in the area, with strong links to the University.

Birmingham would be a pretty logical place. It is a large population center and is geographically in the middle of England. It has an airport and decent motorways.

And its a very valid argument - Hull has the cheapest rents in England, a lack of jobs and excess supply of housing. London is the exact opposite. If you are going to address the housing issue part of the solution needs to focus on rebalancing our economy so there are more jobs where the housing is affordable.

Well, Generation Rent can show the way and move to Hull. Shelter could follow, with their permanent staff.
That'd create jobs there.

Ah but no... They want to stay in London, but pay Hull rents.

Moving parliament out of the capital to a cheaper location isn't a stupid idea at all if it saves the taxpayer money and takes some of the professional politicians out of the Westminster bubble.

You'll end up with more, not less, professional politicians.

£67k and having to live in Hull - hardly likely to attract the brightest and best to politics.
