Scottish Passport Office

EDM number 1430 in 2007-08, proposed by Pete Wishart on 28/04/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Employment and Industrial relations.

That this House notes with concern the proposals to make around 100 staff redundant at Scotland's passport office in Glasgow; further notes that it appears the passport office has been deliberately run down with applications being sent elsewhere in the UK; condemns the lack of consultation both with workers and trade unions over the move; and is concerned that this is the first step to closing over the counter services and other passport operations within Scotland leading to the loss of passport services in Scotland.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
