Alison McGovern – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alison McGovern on 2014-03-24.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the number of zero-hours contract positions advertised in Jobcentre Plus in England in the last 12 months.

Esther McVey

We do not advertise in jobcentres, all vacancies are now advertised on Universal Jobmatch. JSA claimants are not required to apply for zero hour contract jobs and are not penalised if they leave such a job
