Mr. Flook

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many individuals have been assisted in the Taunton One Stop offices since their opening. [74096]

Mr. Nicholas Brown

There are 13 ONE sites in Somerset providing a one stop service in addition to the call centre in Taunton. Information is held for the Somerset pilot rather than for individual offices. Since the pilot became fully operational in April 2000 until July 2002, 70,491 customers have been assisted (ie have had at least one interview with a Personal Adviser), in ONE in Somerset.
