Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what weight HM Revenue and Customs plans to give to the potential economic effect on towns where tax offices are sited of the establishment of regional centres under Building our Future - Continuing the Conversation - Phase 2 when making a decision on that programme.

No decisions have yet been made on the location or timing of HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC’s) new Regional Centres. HMRC will be developing its plans over the coming months and will undertake all necessary consultations and impact assessment work to inform those plans.
