To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent representations he has received from claimants about lack of access to telephone lines within jobcentres for claims to be made and queries to be answered.

The information requested is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
The Digital Jobcentres project is modernising the Jobcentre digital infrastructure by delivering WiFi and public computers across the Jobcentre network.
We now take over 80 per cent of new Jobseeker’s Allowance claims on line and the majority of jobs are also available on the internet. Therefore the use of Customer Access Phones has significantly reduced. However, claimants who require access to a phone in connection with their benefit or job search will still be given access to a telephone in a Jobcentre.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what estimate he has made of the additional costs to claimants living in rural communities of travel to attend jobcentre interviews for (a) fortnightly signing and (b) other interviews and advisory meetings.

The Department has not made an estimate regarding the additional costs for claimants living in rural communities. Providing such an estimate would require the DWP to differentiate the costs to rural claimants from those elsewhere. This can be done only at disproportionate cost to the Department. However, the Department does have some flexibility to meet the needs of those living in rural areas: for example, postal signing can be offered and claimants attending interviews on days outside their normal day of attendance can have their travelling expenses reimbursed. Additionally, Work Coaches are also able to use the Flexible Support Fund and issue Travel Discount Cards to help claimants with travel expenses.

Headline national level figures on the number of unfilled vacancies at a point in time are published by the Office for National Statistics, based on a regular survey of employers.
The replacement of the Jobcentre Plus system of vacancy-taking with the new Universal Jobmatch service has meant that the Jobcentre Plus statistics previously published via ONS’ labour market statistics website are no longer available.
Universal Jobmatch is a major reform that brings significant benefits to jobseekers and employers alike. Headline statistics—which are already available via the Directgov website:
https://jobsearch.direct.gov.uk/Reports/Reports.aspx
show that nationally over 10,000 new vacancies a day are reported to Universal Jobmatch. Despite the limitations, the Department recognises that, in the absence of detailed statistics from the ONS vacancy survey, there remains a demand for local level administrative data on unfilled vacancies. The intention has been and remains that broadly similar information to that available under the previous system will be introduced over time as resources allow.
