Civil Service Jobs Under Threat In Dundee

That the Parliament notes with concern the recent news that the planned transfer of almost 500 jobs in Dundee from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is now under threat; understands that these jobs are no longer guaranteed beyond 2021; condemns what it sees as the lack of clarity surrounding the future of these posts; regrets the reported stress and uncertainty that staff are facing; values the highly skilled members of the workforce currently in place, and calls on both HMRC and the DWP to identify what work can be suitably transferred to Dundee in order to safeguard these jobs.
