The information requested is not collated in this format; Worthing Benefit Centre moved over to a new telephony system in June last year. Please see the following table which gives telephony data from this period for employment support allowance (ESA). The target is to return 95% of calls within three hours. While the target was not met initially, improvement measures put in place to ensure achievement of the performance standard of 95% have been successful.
During the same period jobseekers allowance (JSA) and income support (IS) have consistently met the target.

I welcome my hon. Friend to his new position. With it, he inherits the issue of the lack of a Worthing bypass, which predates his parliamentary career and mine. Worthing is the largest town in Sussex. The major house-building programmes that are planned for my area all feed out on to the A27. The situation will only get worse. Will he come down and sit in the traffic on the A27, as have his predecessors, to see the problem for himself? Will he agree to put back on the agenda a value-for-money study of one of the busiest roads in the south-east of England that needs investment?

My hon. Friend is, as ever, generous in his remarks of welcome. His invitation is equally generous, and I do not think I can refuse it.
