All face to face appointments have been suspended so that jobcentres are closed to the public except for in exceptional circumstances to minimise risk to the public and staff. Gov.uk already contains information and guidance for people who are being made redundant. This information has been updated as appropriate to inform the public that face to face appointments are currently not required.
In addition, the pages that contain information about claiming benefits have been updated to say that customers do not need to attend interviews at the moment because of Covid-19, and that DWP will contact them should we require more information to enable us to process their claim.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps his Department is taking to support workers who were made redundant following the outbreak of covid-19 but prior to the announcement of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

The Government will make sure it protects, as far as possible, people's jobs and incomes. To help firms continue to keep people in employment, the Government announced the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which includes employees who were made redundant since 28 February 2020 if they are rehired by their employer. For those who will not be eligible for the scheme, the Government is strengthening the safety net. The Government has announced a package of temporary welfare measures which, together with those measures announced at the Budget, provides over £6.5 billion in additional support through the welfare system.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what pension cost saving has been made from the early termination of employment of armed forces personnel;
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what pension cost saving has been made from the early termination of employment of armed forces personnel;
The final costs and savings from the armed forces redundancy programme will depend on a number of factors such as the level of natural departures, salary, rank and length of service of the personnel selected. We have made no estimate of the pension cost savings accruing specifically from the redundancy programme, since this is part of broader workforce reductions. We estimate, however, that by 2021-22 we will have achieved cumulative savings of some £23 billion as a result of reductions in service and civilian personnel and greater efficiency in the conduct of non-front line activities.
Service personnel are provided with clear and accessible information with which to understand their entitlements under the armed forces redundancy and pension schemes, including through the provision of booklets and more detailed information in Joint Service Publications. However, the Ministry of Defence does not provide financial or legal advice, and neither can we take responsibility for individual financial decisions. Personnel who require such advice are directed by their Unit HR staffs to a list of Services Insurance and Investment Advisory Panel (SIIAP) approved independent financial advisers. However, personnel are, of course, free to use the services of any independent financial adviser.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether, after planned redundancies have taken effect, the armed forces will have a lower ratio of officers to non-commissioned ranks than in 2010.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether, after planned redundancies have taken effect, the armed forces will have a lower ratio of officers to non-commissioned ranks than in 2010.
[147398]
[holding answer 12 March 2013]: The ratio is expected to be broadly unchanged from 2010.
Significant cuts to the armed forces carry real risk; increased reliance on the reservists carries real risk; and greater emphasis on the private sector for logistical support, again, carries real risk. Will the Secretary of State therefore respond to my concern that the potential cost-saving benefits of the cuts to capability that the Government have announced do not outweigh the risks that they pose to our ability to leverage force in an uncertain and changing world?

As usual, there is no alternative constructive suggestion. We have a £38 billion black hole in the defence budget, and we have to resolve that problem to make our armed forces sustainable in future and to ensure that we can properly equip them when we ask them to put themselves in danger. What we have done is to set out a coherent plan that will deliver smaller but better equipped armed forces that are sustainable in the medium and long term, and I suggest to the hon. Gentleman that that is the best way forward for them.
