Staff are worried after Boris Johnson announced the merger of the DfID and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Boris Johnson is being asked for urgent reassurance over jobs at the Scottish-based Department for International Development .
In 2010, the DfID's Overseas Territories Department was relocated from London to boost the workforce in East Kilbride.The department has played a key role in tackling Ebola, gender inequality, the crisis in Syria and the provision of lifesaving aid in emergencies. The SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford accused the prime minister of "playing politics" by announcing the changes during the Covid-19 crisis.
They were told verbally that the building would remain in the new department, but the union is seeking a written assurance on this point.
