Remploy: Public Relations

Mr. Hurd
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions pursuant to the answer of 10 December 2009, Official Report, column 524W, on Remploy: public relations, if she will place in the Library a copy of the documents produced by Portland PR for Remploy on factory closures communications.

Jonathan Shaw
Remploy commissioned Portland PR to provide a range of services to help the company improve strategic communications.

Portland PR provided support for senior management on the overall communications strategy, and this advice informed a wide range of internal and external communication documents, materials and other communication channels across the whole company, including the factories.

It is therefore not possible to identify documents on factory closure communications produced separately by Portland PR.
