Questions & Answers

Context

The Department has been working on establishing Government hubs across the UK. York has long been promised a hub but specifics have not been provided.

Question

What progress his Department has made on establishing Government hubs outside London. I am concerned about York which has been promised a hub for some time, but no proposals have yet been presented. The nature and size of the proposed hub continue to change.

Answer from Alex Burghart

I am very happy to meet the hon. Lady to discuss that. The Cabinet Office is committed to growth in York, and Cabinet Office jobs, including in United Kingdom Security Vetting, are likely to move to a new hub in York in 2027. We are actively considering options on the location, and we will update the House in due course.
