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 additional caseload for Cofa Court Jobcentre in Coventry as a result of closure of the Torrington Avenue Jobcentre.

Changes to the DWP estate announced on 5 July are not intended to reduce the number of staff or level of service we deliver, they are about redesigning our estate in a way that provides value for the taxpayer while continuing to support to our claimants.

Whilst no specific estimate has been made of the additional caseload for Cofa Court Jobcentre as a result of these changes, the number of work coaches in jobcentres is set to increase in all areas which will offset any increases.
