Proposed Closure Of Hm Revenue And Customs Offices In South Devon

That this House notes with concern the proposed rationalisation of HM Revenue and Customs offices in Torquay and Newton Abbot; is concerned that this will have a detrimental effect on services to residents and businesses in the South Devon area; recognises the difficulties for staff in finding alternative employment within reasonable travelling time of Torquay and Newton Abbot; notes the severe economic impact closures would have on the local economy; and calls on the Government to suspend the closure plans and conduct a full socio-economic review of the impact on the South Devon area.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
