HC Deb 25 November 2002 vol 395 cc18-9W
Mr. McCabe

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assessment he has made of user reaction to Jobcentre Plus. [81295]

Mr. Nicholas Brown

The first 66 integrated Jobcentre Plus offices are now open and we will extend that network to cover the whole of Great Britain over the next four years. First reactions from both individual customers and employers have been overwhelmingly positive.

Jobcentre Plus will also be undertaking a National Customer Satisfaction Survey at the end of this year and will be publishing the findings in the spring of 2003.
