Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent discussions he has had with Virgin Media on the decision to consult on the closure of its Swansea site.

Following the announcement that Virgin were consulting on closing their Swansea site, I spoke with the Chief Executive Officer to discuss their plans. I sought to facilitate re-consideration and establish a dialogue with the Welsh Government. I sought assurances that Virgin would support all employees who have been asked to relocate, who may be in a role at risk of redundancy or who may wish to take another role with Virgin Media or one of their partners.
