We will have a range of government departments based at HMG New Waverley. HMRC has been commissioned to deliver this building, as part of Phase One of the Government Hubs Programme. HMRC has confirmed it will base its Edinburgh Regional Centre in this building. This will be the UK Government’s cross-departmental flagship Hub in Scotland, which will function as the Scottish base of several government bodies, including the Office of the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Office of the Advocate General, the Office for Statistics Regulation, the Information Commissioner’s Office, the Government Actuary’s Department and HM Treasury.
