answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Jobseekers (Back to Work Schemes) Act 2013, required the Secretary of State to appoint an independent person to prepare a report on the operation of sanctions validated by the legislation. The terms of reference reflect this requirement.</p><p>However, the Government Response to the Oakley Review goes wider than the terms of reference. For example, we are reviewing all claimant communications and sanctions processes, not only for those Jobseekers Allowance claimants who come under the remit of the Report, but all JSA claimants and also all Employment Support Allowance claimants.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 29/10/2014 14:49:03 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
