Business question from Jim McGovern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 November 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Can we please have a debate about the potential impact of proposed changes to the benefits system on the job security of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs employees? I put that question to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on Tuesday. At best, he completely misunderstood the question; at worst, he completely evaded it. Such a debate would allow me to offer some guidance to my constituents, many of whom express concern that as many as 700 jobs could be lost in Dundee because of the changes—unless, of course, the Leader of House can provide me with an answer on behalf of his right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary.
