§ Mr. Tom Coxasked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) if he will list the jobcentres in the London borough of Wandsworth which are due to be closed in the current year;
(2) if he will list the jobcentres in the London borough of Wandsworth which are due to go from a full to a reduced level of service.
§ Mr. Peter MorrisonThe jobcentres in the London borough of Wandsworth are at Clapham junction, Tooting and Balham. The Manpower Services Commission has recently approved in principle a strategy for the future development of the Employment Service under which there would be more jobcentre outlets but more variations between offices in the type of service provided. It is not possible at this stage to say how particular jobcentres might be affected. Detailed plans for each area will be worked up in consultation with local interests.
