Remploy

That the Parliament calls for an immediate halt to any further actions by Remploy and the Department for Work and Pensions to sell or close the remaining Remploy businesses until a full and independent review of the stage 1 commercial process has been completed; agrees that the Scottish Government should be consulted fully on any further actions in Scotland by Remploy and that much greater collaboration with the Scottish Government must take place to ensure the continuation of jobs for disabled Remploy workers across all parts of the business; believes that redundancy support for Remploy staff in the three sites that have now closed was made available at too late a stage in the closure process, and agrees that there should be much earlier access to Partnership Action for Continuing Employment advice and support for those in sites under threat.
