answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2017 answer text <p>We have considered the wider impacts of the local economy when developing our proposals for Alexandria Jobcentre. The economic impact of employment is dispersed beyond the specific location of a workplace and staff currently based at Alexandria jobcentre already live in the broader area around the site. While we expect the majority of these staff to be relocated, it is unlikely that a significant proportion of them will also move their place of residence.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 27/02/2017 17:15:05 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

uin	64104
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2017 answer text <p>The Department has sought, where feasible, to merge sites in close proximity as part of its overall review of estate. Merging the staff and services from Alexandria Jobcentre into Dumbarton Jobcentre optimises use of space, ensures value for money and enables effective delivery of services to the public. Alexandria Jobcentre is 46% underutilised, meaning that we are spending money on rent for space that is unused rather than on services and support.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 27/02/2017 17:04:42 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
