Jobcentre Plus: Greater London

Answer

[holding answer 20 May 2009]: The administration of Jobcentre Plus is a matter for the chief executive, Mel Groves. I have asked him to provide the right hon. Member with the information requested.Letter from Mel Groves;"The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question asking how many (a) benefit delivery centres and (b) customer-facing jobcentres were operated by Jobcentre Plus in each London borough in each of the last 24 months. This is something that falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Acting Chief Executive of Jobcentre Plus.""I have attached a table which gives a breakdown of current Jobcentres and Benefit Delivery Centres in each London Borough.""With regard to the past 24 months, no offices closed in 2007 or 2008 but three closed during 2009, those at Orpington, Brixton Hill and Feltham."
