Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many visits were made to jobcentres in (a) Edge HIll and (b) Wavertree each (i) day, (ii) week and (iii) month by claimants who were required to report to those jobcentres every two weeks in 2017.

The information requested is not available because our Management Information is not recorded/collated in that format.

However, using the average claimant volumes for Jobseeker’s Allowance and Universal Credit Live Service customers who are normally required to attend on a fortnightly basis, an estimation of numbers visiting Edge Hill and Wavertree Jobcentres daily would be:

Edge Hill – 159

Wavertree – 96
