Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on HMRC (Office Closures).


HMRC (Office Closures)

The hon. Gentleman makes a very powerful case on behalf of his constituents. Does he agree that the proposal, as well as having a devastating effect on current staff, has a knock-on effect in our areas, where jobs will be lost for ever? That will affect future generations. In my constituency, tax offices in Rothesay, Oban and Dunoon provide employment in remote areas where alternative employment is often difficult to find. The losses will have a devastating effect on those communities for generations to come.
