Commenting on the news that Standard Life is set to lose 500 posts in Edinburgh, the Secretary of State for Scotland Michael Moore said:
“The news of jobs losses at Standard Life is a real cause for concern and I hope the company can do all it can to minimise the numbers of staff affected. I am meeting the Chief Executive very shortly and plan to discuss the issue further with him. Financial services will continue to play a key role in Scotland’s economy and I will continue to do all I can at UK Government level to support and grow the number of jobs the sector brings to Scotland.”
