Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

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.

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.
