That this House is very concerned that from May 2013 its switchboard staff will be moved to Southampton; worries that the quality of service based on strong relationships and trust may be damaged by this; is dismayed that many longstanding staff may find themselves redundant if they do not move; values and appreciates the service provided by existing staff; and calls on Capita, as the Operator Bureau contractor, to reconsider this move and maintain these services on site.
