Mr. Gordon Prentice
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what criteria led him to award a contract for the management and storage of departmental records to Iron Mountain; and if he will make a statement. [127185]
Mr. Browne
The Department for Work and Pensions has not awarded a contract for the management and storage of departmental records to Iron Mountain. DWP has a contract with Hays IMS for the storage and retrieval of some departmental records. Iron Mountain acquired Hays IMS in August 2003 and the DWP contract with Hays IMS is being novated to Iron Mountain accordingly.
