Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 21 January 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many (a) full-time and (b) part-time vacancies were advertised in Jobcentre Plus in Barrow and Furness constituency in each quarter in each of the last five years.
In November 2012 we introduced Universal Jobmatch, which replaced adverts in Jobcentre Plus offices, therefore we only have figures to meet this request up to that point.
The full and part-time vacancy numbers for the Barrow and Furness constituency from January 2009 up to the introduction of Universal Jobmatch in November 2012 are in the following table. We are unable to provide this information to jobcentre level.
