That this House is deeply concerned at the impact of plans recently announced by the Department for Work and Pensions for widespread office closures; believes that the closure of one in 10 jobcentres will create difficulties for many isolated and vulnerable people in accessing services; notes with concern the uncertainties facing staff and the economic impacts on communities affected by office closures; and calls on the Government to suspend any closures to allow for completion of comprehensive impact assessments, widest possible consultation with stakeholders and staff and detailed consideration of alternatives.
