Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when the lease on the office block accommodating the Hamilton Job Centre expires; and whether her Department plans to renew that lease.

DWP occupies space at Cameronian House, Hamilton, through an intra-government agreement (a Memorandum of Terms of Occupation - MOTO) with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. A new MOTO is in the process of being exchanged extending DWPs occupation of Cameronian House through to 2020.

DWP is currently reviewing its strategic plans for its entire property portfolio, including Cameronian House and, expects to publish its revised Strategic Asset Management plan by the end of the current calendar year.
