HM Revenue And Customs Centres In Northern Ireland

EDM number 791 in 2013-14, proposed by Margaret Ritchie on 25/11/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Civil Service, Employment and Taxation.

That this House is deeply concerned about the imminent closure of the HM Revenue and Customs office in Newry and the plans to scale down operations in Derry and Enniskillen; recognises the vital services that are provided by these centres and their high degree of competence and expertise; acknowledges that this will result in the loss of over 130 jobs in Newry alone and cause real damage to the local economy in each area where the measures have been announced; and urges the Government to reconsider this decision and retain the centres.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
