| Jenny Marra MSP's letter calling for these jobs to come to Dundee |
As Dundee Labour's City Development spokesperson I have welcomed the announcement by the Scottish Government of Civil Service jobs
coming to Dundee with Scottish Benefits Agency coming to Dundee.
My priority for Dundee is jobs. Along
with the Labour Group I will work with anyone to ensure that good quality
sustainable jobs are brought to Dundee or kept in Dundee. The Scottish Benefits
Agency coming to Dundee is something that my colleague Jenny Marra MSP has been
calling for and I am glad that her call has been supported.
This is the first new Civil Service jobs to come to Dundee in ten years
and it is good that the SNP-led Scottish Government has finally delivered on its
campaign from 2003 and 2007. It is good that this has eventually led to jobs
coming to Dundee.
I have been calling for Civil Service jobs to be relocated to Dundee since I was elected. Indeed when I work for former Dundee East MP John McAllion it was one of our big campaigns.
We are keen to work to ensure that these jobs become a reality before too
long. Labour in Dundee will work with the council and the Scottish Government
to ensure that Dundonians receive a pay packet from the Scottish Benefits Agency
before too long.
I look forward to these jobs coming to Dundee and I hope that they are the
first of many jobs for our city.
