§ 80. Mr. Heathcoat-Amoryasked the Paymaster General how many of those counted as unemployed are registered at jobcentres.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkInformation on the numbers of unemployed claimants registered at jobcentres is not available. Statistics of those registered at jobcentres do not distinguish unemployed claimants from people seeking a change of employment and others who are not claimants at unemployment benefit offices. Also, many jobseekers make use of the self-service facilities at jobcentres but do not register.
