Proceeding contribution from Stewart Malcolm McDonald (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 June 2019. It occurred during Opposition day on Inequality and Social Mobility.
Inequality and Social Mobility
When the right hon. Lady was a Minister in the Conservative Government—a Cabinet Minister no less—why did they seek to close half the jobcentres in Glasgow, which would have reduced social mobility? The only one that we were able to save, by the way, was in my constituency, in Castlemilk, and that was four miles from the alternative jobcentre. How did that help aspiration at that point?
