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 assessment he has made of the potential benefits of moving additional work from elsewhere to his Department's building in Llanelli to make that site more cost effective.

Answer

The overall requirement in DWP for processing work is reducing and we do not need the same size estate we currently have. Specifically, the work undertaken at Llanelli Crown Buildings is reducing and due to end within the next 2-3 years.

The overall requirement for that work from March 2018 is deliverable out of fewer buildings which better match our strategic requirements and, therefore, the building in Llanelli will no longer be required.
