Proceeding contribution from Tom Levitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Deprivation/Child Poverty.


Deprivation/Child Poverty

My hon. Friend may like to know that when the Committee visited Cardiff to see Jobcentre Plus working with lone parents, great emphasis was placed on the advisers remaining as advisers to the lone parents once they had gone into work. They were advising them for several months. That proved to be a much better way of avoiding the revolving door problem. I am sure that my hon. Friend would agree that if every jobcentre did that, and did it to that extent, employment would be much more sustainable.
