Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the attack on Nishat Ayman in the Department for Work and Pensions building at Caxton House on 24 March, what steps they are taking to prevent attacks against staff within government buildings.

DWP treats the safety of individuals on its premises as paramount and as such has comprehensive physical and personnel security, as well as staff safety policies and procedures in place. Site security is reviewed and tested on a regular basis to help protect staff, buildings and assets from attack or compromise.
