PROPOSED JOB CUTS TO LEICESTER HM REVENUE AND CUSTOMS BRANCHES

Early day motion 964, tabled 22 February 2007 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 16 members.

That this House views with concern the plans to cut the number of employees of HM Revenue and Customs in Leicestershire; notes that this will result in the loss of more than 300 jobs; believes that there are already problems with the level of service in this area which would only worsen with a significant cut in staff numbers and budget; and calls on the Paymaster General to reconsider the decision.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, DUP 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Respect 1.
