Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment has she made of the effect of open-plan Jobcentre Plus office space on compliance with data protection requirements.
Our contractors (Turner and Townsend) have undertaken a Physical Security Survey of all Jobcentre Plus offices in 2017/18. These assessments encompassed data protection. Any identified vulnerabilities have either been addressed or we have a plan in place to do so.
