Proceeding contribution from Anthony D Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on HMRC (Office Closures).

HMRC (Office Closures)

Absolutely. The hon. Gentleman has hit the nail on the head in terms of experience, because, in my constituency, the average number of years that people have worked in the department exceeds 20. I do not know of any other industry or profession with such consistency, and over those 20 years, people have built up their professionalism, contacts and local knowledge. However, if we put in their way obstacles such as travel or care responsibilities, which do not allow them to strike a work-life balance, we will lose that professionalism.
