Closure Of Hm Revenue And Customs Offices In Somerset
EDM number 2017 in 2007-08, proposed by David Heath on 10/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Business support, Employment and Taxation.
That this House expresses its concern over the proposed closure of HM Revenue and Customs offices in Somerset including the offices in Frome, Yeovil, Wells, Bridgwater and Weston-Super-Mare and the relocation of tax business to Bristol; believes this will provide a lower standard of service to individuals and businesses in the local community, is unfair to loyal members of staff and cannot be justified in economic or environmental terms given that Bristol is expensive, congested and inaccessible to people in Somerset; and calls on the Government to reconsider the proposals.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
