The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what discussions it has had with the Department of Work and Pensions regarding the recent announcement of the loss of departmental jobs from centres around Scotland and on what date or dates such discussions took place.
The answer
The Scottish Executive has had contact with the Department for Work and Pensions on matters that could impact on the Scottish economy, and any loss of jobs in Scotland is a matter of extreme regret.
I will ensure the contents of the Finance Committee’s recent report on the relocation of public sector jobs will be made available to the Department for Work and Pensions so that they can be made aware of the opinions that have been expressed by the Scottish Parliament.
