A new civil service ‘hub’ is set to open by 2027 in York, bringing up to 2,600 new jobs to the city, the Government has announced.

It will host a range of officials including national security vetting staff, departmental parliamentary secretary Alex Burghart told MPs.

He said the hub will create ‘a high quality, efficient workplace which will enable smarter working and support the development of career pathways.’

Asked about progress in the plans to disperse the civil servants to areas outside London, he said: ‘I’m delighted to confirm that good progress is being made.

‘Phase one has been completed by HMRC, delivering 14 hubs across the UK – two in Scotland and one each in Wales and Northern Ireland.’

Phase two of the Government hubs programme is due to deliver 17 multi-department buildings over the course of the current spending review period which runs until 2024-25.

According to this summer’s Government Property Strategy, a further phase could result in the delivery of an additional 50 hubs by the end of the decade.

Last week, Manchester City Council said it was keen to see a Government hub delivered as part of the redevelopment of a former retail park to the north-east of the city centre.

Plans for two new Government hubs in the city have already been confirmed so far this year.
