answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2017 answer text <p>We have carefully considered the wider impacts on local communities when developing our proposals for Cambuslang and Rutherglen jobcentres. The economic impact of employment is dispersed beyond the specific location of a workplace and the staff currently based at Cambuslang jobcentre already live in the broader area around the site. While we expect all these staff to move to Rutherglen jobcentre, it is unlikely that a significant proportion of them will also move their place of residence.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 07/02/2017 16:41:40 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
