Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if HMRC will publish the final business case for the HMRC estate transformation programme.

HMRC does not plan to publish the Business Case due to the commercially sensitive nature of the information within.

HMRC’s Locations Programme Business Case has been reviewed by the Major Projects Review Group and approved by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury.

The Business Case shows that moving to regional centres will result in savings of around £300 million up to 2025, the programme will deliver annual cash savings of £74 million in 2025-26, compared with 2015-16, rising to around £90 million from 2028.
