Chuka Umunna – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chuka Umunna on 2014-03-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion and number of jobs currently advertised through Jobcentre Plus are on zero-hour contracts.

Esther McVey

We do not advertise in jobcentres, all vacancies are now advertised on Universal Jobmatch. JSA claimants are not required to apply for zero-hour contract jobs and are not penalised if they leave such a job
