HMRC Closures

Proceeding contribution from Jim McMahon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 November 2017. It occurred during Backbench debate on HMRC Closures.

I thank the Minister for giving way. According to my time, we have an hour and 10 minutes of interventions if Members have questions to ask. The Minister is being generous with his time. Let us stop this dance that we are taking part in here. The truth is that no assessment was made of the suitability of sites for the relocation. Oldham was not considered as a site for the relocation, but Manchester was. That is the truth. If I am wrong, simply publish the assessment of sites that shows that Oldham was considered at the same time as Manchester. Ultimately, it is not protected under any of the exemptions in the freedom of information legislation. Let us cut out the time delay that would be initiated by

our making that request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and let us have it here today.
