Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if her Department will guarantee that no redundancies will result from the closure of Cosham Pension Centre.

Redeployment will always be our priority and activity is underway to explore opportunities within DWP and across other government departments. The department will fulfil its legal commitment with regard to redundancy in any situation where it is necessary to do so, although redundancies may be unavoidable, we will support individuals throughout.
