Written question asked by Nia Griffith (Labour) on Tuesday, 31 January 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 3 February 2017 (named day). It was answered by Damian Hinds (Conservative) on Friday, 3 February 2017 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Department for Work and Pensions: Llanelli

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions he has had with other potential users of his Department's building on Llanelli on sharing the use of that space.

Answer

The Department does not own any of the buildings within the estate, and after 20 years the leases and contracts covering many of our buildings end in March 2018. The overall requirement in DWP for processing work is reducing and we do not need the same size estate we currently have.

Our strategic review of estate has concluded that there is no requirement for the space currently occupied in Llanelli Crown Buildings and that the work currently undertaken there can be accommodated elsewhere in the network. We have not, therefore, discussed the potential for sharing use of the space.
