David Stewart backing efforts to try to save Wick HMRC office from closure

10 March 2011

Highlands and Islands Labour MSP David Stewart has backed efforts to try to save Wick's HMRC office from closure.

He said: "I am dismayed to hear that the Wick office, which was for years the most northerly point of the old Inland Revenue, could close within a year.

"The Caithness economy has been suffering for some time and the loss of another 20 jobs through the closure of the HMRC office is another hammer blow .

"It seems senseless given the massive return we get in terms of the yield generated by the staff at Wick."
