Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to retain the Valuation Office Agency office at Preston.
The Valuation Office Agency is undertaking a complex transformation programme, which will deliver more digital services and require a smaller estate.
Preston is not one of the locations the Valuation Office Agency will be operating from in the future and the office will close by March 2021. Staff in the Preston office were made aware of these plans in October 2014. However, a date has not yet been set for closure of the office.
