    The hon. Member is clarifying inaccuracies in the statement made by the Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, the hon. Member for Mid Sussex (Mims Davies). She states that her local jobcentre was closed from the start of the pandemic until April 26 this year when it only allowed entry to those specifically requested to attend. Despite requesting a visit, she was denied access and will instead participate in a virtual tour with the manager on Monday.

  • Eleanor Laing no constituency mentioned

    Acknowledges the hon. Lady’s point of order but clarifies that it is not a true point of order for the Chair, rather part of the ongoing debate. She expresses understanding of the hon. Member's desire to correct inaccuracies and ensures the Minister will be aware of her clarification.
