Mr Perkins, who has already raised the issue of job losses at DXC - formerly known as CSC - in a Parliamentary debate in 2017, said: "This will be a worrying time for the hundreds of staff who work for DXC in Chesterfield.

"I have spoken with senior representatives from DXC on Tuesday and arranged a meeting with them to discuss the situation and identify if there is any way that I can assist in ensuring that staff in Chesterfield are spared from compulsory redundancies.

"DXC is an important employer here and we want to do all we can to ensure that these roles, many of which are highly skilled, are retained in Chesterfield."

A spokesperson for DXC declined to comment.
