Scottish Secretary David Mundell has confirmed today [28 June 2018] that his department, as well as the Office of the Advocate General, will be joining the new and innovative UK 바카라 사이트 Hub in the New Waverley Development in Edinburgh.

The new Hub will bring together nearly 3,000 UK 바카라 사이트 civil servants, from a range of departments, by 2020. It will improve the work of the UK 바카라 사이트 in Scotland, enabling closer collaboration between departments, helping them deliver better services for people in Scotland.

Mr Mundell said:

The UK 바카라 사이트 is delivering for Scotland. It is right that we have the right facilities to enable staff from across the whole of the UK 바카라 사이트 to work together to deliver high quality services. The UK 바카라 사이트 Hub demonstrates our commitment to supporting the Edinburgh economy 바카라 사이트“ which we are also driving through the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal.
