Jobcentre Plus and National Careers Service: Merger

Contribution

My Lords, the Prime Minister has made very clear his desire that more and more services should be focused regionally, on mayoral areas and so on, and in particular that the educational offer should be linked clearly to what is needed in those areas. To what extent are the DWP, jobcentres and all of this area working together with mayoral authorities to ensure that the opportunities made available to people are entirely geared into local and regional priorities?
