Proceeding contribution from Sandra Osborne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.


Unemployment

Will my right hon. Friend confirm that, when people lose their jobs, the rapid response team or those at Jobcentre Plus will inform them of all the benefits to which they may be entitled, and that the onus will not be only on the person to find out for what they are eligible? A constituent made that allegation to me last week, so I would welcome the Secretary of State's confirmation that that is not the case.
