The question stems from concerns over the Budget's impact on small businesses in Broxbourne constituency, making it difficult for them to create jobs.
The Budget has made it even harder for small businesses in my Broxbourne constituency to create jobs. What can the Minister do to make sure that jobcentres connect with local businesses to help those who are looking for work to find sustainable employment?
I thank the Minister for his question—[Interruption.] Honestly, I am still getting used to being on this side of the House. The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right that jobcentres everywhere need to be locally responsive to employers, and that we need to provide an excellent service to local employers. If he has further thoughts on how we can make that work in his constituency, I would be very happy to discuss it with him.
