Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he plans to take to help resolve the industrial dispute with OCS at his Department's East Kilbride office.

Abercrombie House is a Government Property Agency (GPA) run building occupied by the FCDO. The GPA provides all facilities management services through several contracts including the contract with OCS. No individuals taking strike action are directly employed by the government.

The GPA is actively encouraging OCS and the PCS trade union to cooperate to resolve the dispute, including facilitating constructive dialogue between them.
