BPDTS Tailored Review The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Guy Opperman) My noble Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Work and Pensions (the Baroness Stedman-Scott) has made the following written statement. On 29 September 2020 the outcome of the BPDTS tailored review was published. The review recommended the creation of a single departmental digital function for DWP—concluding that the strategic context and challenges which BPDTS was designed to address had fundamentally altered since its creation in 2016. Action has now been taken to implement the recommendations and all BPDTS staff and functions will transfer to DWP on 1 July 2021. From 1 July activities in BPDTS will focus on the closure of the company and the publication of final annual reports and accounts, with formal closure anticipated in early 2022. [HCWS141]
