Virgin Media: Swansea

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent discussions he has had with Virgin Media on the decision to consult on the closure of its Swansea site.

Answer: Following the announcement that Virgin were consulting on closing their Swansea site, I spoke with the Chief Executive Officer to discuss their plans. I sought to facilitate re-consideration and establish a dialogue with the Welsh Government. I sought assurances that Virgin would support all employees who have been asked to relocate, who may be in a role at risk of redundancy or who may wish to take another role with Virgin Media or one of their partners.
