Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the status of the new Treasury offices being built in Darlington; and whether Treasury officials planned to be based there will be relocated to Manchester.

The new hub building in Darlington is being delivered by the Government Property Agency and is currently under construction. Once complete in early 2028, it will be the home of more than 1600 civil servants from across multiple departments, including HM Treasury.

HM Treasury’s commitment to at least 335 staff being based in Darlington remains in place, as does the commitment to Darlington being HMT’s second headquarters.
