Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans his Department has to review HMRC's Building our Future programme in response to the covid-19 outbreak; and if he will make a statement.

HMRC remain committed to their strategy of moving into regional centres and are planning for delays to their Locations Programme caused by COVID-19, assessing the impacts on a site by site basis. Construction or fit-out work continues at most of HMRC’s regional centre sites in line with UK Government guidelines and Safe Operating Procedures issued by industry construction bodies. HMRC are providing critical support to the country at this vital time, such as through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, as well as delivering their usual services.
