Written question asked by Margaret Ferrier (Scottish National Party) on Monday, 30 January 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 1 February 2017. It was answered by Damian Hinds (Conservative) on Tuesday, 7 February 2017 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Jobcentres: Glasgow

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether any compulsory redundancies will result from the closure of Cambuslang Jobcentre.

Answer

The Department for Work and Pensions is now consulting with colleagues at Cambuslang Jobcentre. We are seeking to relocate, or offer alternative roles, to all employees affected by the proposed closure and we anticipate that we will be able to redeploy everyone to Rutherglen Jobcentre.

It is important to stress that this is a proposed closure: we will make a final decision informed by the consultation process with our colleagues. We are not therefore in a position to comment on the potential for redundancy.
