Oral Answers to Questions

Stephen Metcalfe Excerpts

Monday 22nd November 2010 Commons Chamber

[Maria Miller]

The hon. Gentleman knows from the recent spending review settlement that Remploy’s modernisation plan and funding are in place, and we will continue to monitor its performance against that. I have already met trade union officials about Remploy’s future, and I will continue to do so as we move forward with the modernisation plan.

[Stephen Metcalfe (South Basildon and East Thurrock) (Con)]

I, like many other hon. Members, have been contacted by a number of constituents whose pension provision has been seriously affected by the collapse of the former Ford UK parts manufacturer, Visteon. Will the Secretary of State meet me to explore how we might best help those who have been most adversely affected?

[Mr Duncan Smith]

I will, indeed, and my hon. Friend must give me a date.
