HM REVENUE AND CUSTOMS OFFICES IN SCOTLAND

That this House is concerned about HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) plans to reshape the future of HMRC customer contact and processing work in its Scotland offices; believes that this will lead to job losses and the prospect of closure for many local offices; further believes that any further reductions in either staff or offices will result in a poorer service to the public; supports the Public and Commercial Services Union in its campaign to resist these job losses; and hopes that the Government will reconsider its plans and instead invest in front line services.
