Jobcentres: Kirkcaldy

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many claimants were assigned from (a) KY6 and (b) KY7 postcodes to the temporary Jobcentre in Kirkcaldy as part of her Department's Rapid Estate Expansion Programme in (a) 2020, (b) 2021 and (c) 2022.

Answer

Ahead of the temporary Jobcentre in Kirkcaldy opening in March 2022, there were 240 Universal Credit claimants assigned from the KY7 postcode, and none from the KY6 postcode. Current information about the assignment of claimants from these postcodes is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate costs.
