Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority Major Projects Annual Report 2025 to 2026, Tables, Manchester Digital Campus, does the current end date of 17 December 2032 remain extant following the decision to include Number 10 North within the scope.

While the Manchester Digital Campus represents a significant step in strengthening the Government presence in the North West, early media speculation regarding the integration of No10 North into this programme was incorrect. There are currently no plans to establish the No10 North office within the Manchester Digital Campus. The Manchester Digital Campus programme continues to progress as set out in the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority Major Projects Annual Report 2025 to 2026. We continue to work toward the established end date of 17 December 2032, which remains unchanged.
