Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the average annual running costs of a Jobcentre in the most recent financial year for which this data is available.
No estimate has been made of an average running cost for a Jobcentre. There are 639 traditional Jobcentres servicing different areas in size and scope. Annual IT and Estates costs for these locations are accounted for centrally and are not charged to individual job centres.
