Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, where staff based at his Department's back-of-house administrative site at Annesley will be relocated to after its planned closure.

The Department for Work and Pensions is now consulting with colleagues in Waterfront House, Annesley. We are seeking to relocate, or offer alternative roles, to all employees affected by the proposed closure.

It is important to stress that this is a proposed closure: we will make a final decision informed by the consultation process with our colleagues. We are not therefore in a position to confirm where staff currently based at Waterfront House, Annesley will be relocated to until the consultation process is concluded.
