Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Written Statement of 26 January 2017, HCWS439, on welfare delivery, how many (a) existing and (b) new employees of his Department will be based at the newly acquired back-of-house site in Glasgow.

It is important to remember that the announcements made in relation to the Written Statement of 26 January 2017 are just proposals at this stage and not final decisions.

Until discussions with staff have been undertaken, we cannot provide details of how many new and existing people would make up that number.
