A DWP spokesperson said: “These recent figures highlight the great work being done by work coaches across the Falkirk local authority area, where we continue to see a reduction in both our 50 plus and 18 to 24 age groups.

"Both groups continue to show a reduction of eight per cent and 13 per cent on this time last year, with 55 in the 50 plus range and and 85 in the 18 to 24 range returning to work.

"Jobcentre work coaches play an increasingly important role by supporting businesses to fill their vacancies, while helping more people get ready to enter the jobs market.”
