  The hon. Gentleman talks about modernisation—I cannot believe what I am hearing. This is a closure. We were never asked about modernisation, co-location or anything else—that has all come from us. The Government are proposing closures, nothing else.

• Jobcentres and the DWP Estate — [Mr Nigel Evans in the Chair] 20 Jul 2017

  Is the hon. Gentleman in favour of the closures or against them? I am unclear.
