Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Western and Richard Holden

Monday 17th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Western]

We know that we have a significant issue with whether the jobcentre is the vehicle of choice to advertise local job opportunities. That is a long-standing issue that we are keen to address. I am delighted to congratulate his local jobcentre on the work it is doing to promote the jobs fair.
