Proceeding contribution from Chris Stephens (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 June 2022. It occurred during Adjournment debate on DWP Office Closures.
DWP Office Closures
It is good to see the Department for Work and Pensions preparing itself for an independent Scotland, but that is not the point I want to make. The point I want to make to the Minister is on areas of economic deprivation. Some of these offices will be closing in areas of economic deprivation—I am thinking of Springburn in Glasgow, for example, and I have raised the concerns that the businesses have—which seems to go against the levelling-up agenda. How would the Minister square her argument with the fact that offices in areas of high economic deprivation are closing?
