Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many accessible car parking spaces are available in the Canary Wharf Government Hub for disabled staff of HM Revenue & Customs.

There are four accessible visitor car parking spaces for blue badge holders at the Canary Wharf Government Hub. These are available to all departments occupying the building, including HMRC. In addition there is an accessible drop off point outside the entrance and accessible public car parking nearby.

HMRC is reviewing its car parking policy for all sites and this will prioritise accessible parking for staff and visitors. It expects to increase availability in 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, within the limited number of spaces available under the building.

HMRC is committed to ensuring that its new hubs will be accessible to all staff. It will review individual cases where reasonable adjustments are required, explore options such as Access to Work and may fund the cost of a taxi or an accessible parking space where this is necessary.
