• Oral Answers to Questions — Cabinet Office: Civil Service: Job Reductions 25 Mar 2015

Gentleman explain why he shut an office in my constituency that I fought long and hard to maintain, given that people have more than met the targets they have been given on every occasion in every year? Will he personally—he has not got long to go—have a wee look at that and perhaps write to tell me why he shut that office?
