  • Letter from Mr Hepburn to Mr Hinds 270117.Pdf
    Minister for Employability and Training Jamie Hepburn MSP T: 0300 244 4000 E: [email protected] Damian Hinds MP Minister for Employment [email protected] ___ 27th January 2017 I am writing in response to yesterday’s letters addressed to Keith Brown MSP, Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Angela Constance MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Jeane Freeman, Minister for Social Security and me notifying the Scottish Government of the Department of Work and Pension’s (DWP) plans for their estate in Scotland, and attaching a list of Jobcentre Plus facilities in Scotland to be retained. I must say that I am, once again, deeply disappointed in the way this vital news has been communicated with the Scottish Government. Particularly in view of our recent dialogue and correspondence on the question of proposed closures in Glasgow, I had expected a more collaborative approach. And even now the information being provided by DWP officials does not provide sufficient clarity about your plans for individual offices and customers. I refer you once more to the terms of Smith Agreement, and in particular paragraph 58, which while recognising Jobcentre Plus would remain reserved, calls for our Governments to work together to “identify ways to further link services through methods such as co- location wherever possible and establish more formal mechanisms to govern the Jobcentre Plus network in Scotland.” With the devolution of employment support programmes, we have a clear and strong opportunity to deliver a new level of joint working between Scottish Government and UK Government in the interaction of devolved and reserved areas.
