Answer from Hansard
The Minister of State, Department for Work and Pensions (Dame Diana Johnson)
The hon. Gentleman raises an important point. The transformation of our jobs and career service will provide wraparound support to individuals who are looking for work or career development. We want to change the feel of jobcentres so that they are about supporting people, rather than having people go in just to comply with benefit conditions.
