HC Deb 17 July 2002 vol 389 cc321-2W
30. Mr. Edwards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions about Jobcentre Plus offices in Wales. [67901]

Mr. Paul Murphy

I have regular meetings with Cabinet colleagues on a range of issues. I welcome the fact that Jobcentre Plus—which was launched at the pathfinder office in Bridgend—is being rolled out to other offices in the Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taff and South East. Wales districts. District managers across Wales are now in the process of developing service delivery plans as the first step in the full rollout of Jobcentre Plus to all 144 former Employment Service and Benefit Agency offices in Wales.
