Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will confirm why HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) staff currently employed in the Personal Tax Operations Directorate office in Glasgow and who wish to be transferred to HMRC Debt Management Directorate are not allowed to continue to work in HMRC Glasgow offices.

HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) Debt Management & Banking Directorate is recruiting staff in locations across the country where it has specific functional requirements and the IT infrastructure to support the work.

It has posts immediately available in East Kilbride and Cumbernauld. These jobs have been made available to all staff on fixed term appointments nationwide, including those currently working in Glasgow. Some of these members of staff have applied for jobs in East Kilbride and Cumbernauld. HMRC is continuing to look at options for the remaining staff within the Personal Tax line of business who want to continue their employment with HMRC.
