HC Deb 16 March 1988 vol 129 cc589-90W
Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will establish a jobcentre at the business efficiency centre on the Isle of Dogs.

Mr. Lee

The area is already covered by jobcentres at Poplar and in the library building on the Isle of Dogs. We are currently considering whether any changes to the facilities are needed to improve the services to unemployed people in the area. If we do decide to relocate our jobcentres we would certainly wish to look at a number of possible locations.

Mr. Leighton

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will establish jobcentre facilities for the people of Silvertown and Canning Town.

Mr. Lee

Silvertown and Canning Town are already well covered by our Plaistow jobcentre. This office deals with all jobseekers in the E13, E6 and E16 postal areas.
