Mitcham Jobcentre Plus

There is a disjuncture between the figures and the reality as seen by my constituents. Is my hon. Friend interested in visiting the jobcentre in my constituency and talking to some of the local groups in order to understand their feelings? The purpose of today's debate is not to criticise the Government's initiatives but merely to say that they should be carried through to effect and that people's experience of them is important. I therefore extend my offer.
