answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC’s) performance against the Greening Government Commitments to reduce impact on the environment relates to business travel and does not extend to staff commuting. HMRC recognises that its Locations Programme will lead to increased commuting times for some of its staff. All its regional centres will be easily accessible by public transport, which is not always currently the case, and co-location in a single large building will mean that staff can work collaboratively, minimising business travel.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 11/09/2017 16:04:09 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
