Recent appearances

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

  What assessment he has made of the effect on local economies of the reduction of jobs in the civil service.

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

  Can the right hon. 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?

• Opposition Day: [Un-allotted Half Day] — Future Government Spending 4 Mar 2015

  I notice that there are no Scottish nats in the Chamber at present, which is not unusual. Will my hon. Friend touch on the effect of the price of North sea oil on the economy of today?
