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. -

Scottish Government
Friday 31 July 2020 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Economy Lewis Macdonald (North East Scotland) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government what support it plans to provide to the North Sea oil and gas workforce during the COVID-19 crisis. Holding answer issued: 31 July 2020 (S5W-30430) Paul Wheelhouse: A holding answer was provided. Mary Fee (West Scotland) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government what support it has provided to showpeople during the COVID-19 crisis. (S5W-30524) Jamie Hepburn: We recognise the significant contribution showpeople make to the economic and cultural fabric of Scotland. We are determined to support as many businesses as possible from all sectors. Our financial support now exceeds the £2.3 billion passed on from the UK Government. In designing the relief and grant system we had to balance helping as many businesses as possible against what was affordable. The £2.3bn support package included the £90m Pivotal Enterprise Resilience Fund, the £30m Creative, Tourism & Hospitality Enterprises Hardship Fund and the Newly Self-Employed Hardship Fund for those newly self- employed.These funds were available to all businesses, including showpeople, who met the set criteria, as was the UK Government’s Self- employment Income Support Scheme. We will publish the number of applications and a list of all awards through the Pivotal Enterprise Resilience Fund and Creative, Tourism & Hospitality Enterprises Hardship Fund in the coming weeks. Our Enterprise Agencies are currently processing appeals. We are looking into what is required to enable fairgrounds and showpeople to start working again as soon as possible. A preliminary opening date has been set for 24 August. -
