To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to his oral contribution in response to the hon. Member for Torbay at Work and Pensions Oral Questions on 29 June 2026, Official Report, Column 605, when the offer of a meeting was made; on which subject; and if he will meet the hon. Member for Torbay to discuss DWP office closures.

I wrote to the honourable Member for Torbay on 25 June, explaining the rationale for the consolidation of the DWP estate and offering a meeting to discuss the implications for the site in his constituency. A meeting can be scheduled when availability is confirmed.
