Margaret Curran – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Margaret Curran on 2014-04-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, where each Jobcentre Plus office is in Scotland; when each office opened; and how many people have used each such office in each year since 2010.

Esther McVey

There are 94 Jobcentres in Scotland. A full list of these Jobcentres is provided at Annex 1.

We do not keep a record of when each office opened, so I am unable to supply you with this information.

There are no official statistics kept which would provide you with the number of people who have used each office in each year since 2010. Many people, some of whom are already employed, use the jobpoints or Intranet Access Devices in our Jobcentres but may not make a claim to benefit or register unemployed. It would therefore be impossible to provide you with the total number of people using the Jobcentres.
