Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the timetable is for the transference of jobs to the new HMT economic campus in the North of England.
This question was answered on 12th March 2021
The plan for the Darlington economic campus is to base at least 750 roles from across HM Treasury, the Department for International Trade, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and the Office for National Statistics will be based at the Darlington economic campus. It is the Treasury’s policy that all relocations will be voluntary and, following the announcement the campus will be based in Darlington, we are consulting all Treasury staff on the establishment of the new office, including voluntary relocation. We will be filling roles through both voluntary relocation and direct recruitment and the mixture of the two will be determined through this process. The new office will include a range of roles and levels of seniority, including senior Civil Servants. The Darlington economic campus will have a phased opening and will be fully operational by the end of this Parliament.
