Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the average cost of floor space (a) will be at the planned HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) office in Leeds and (b) is at the HMRC offices in Bradford.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) location decisions were based on a number of key principles to enable it to deliver more for less. These plans will generate estate savings of up to £100 million a year by 2025 across HMRC’s entire estate. It will do this at a lower cost to the taxpayer by using the best of modern technology and basing its staff in modern and more cost-effective buildings.
