§ Mr. HinchliffeTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received concerning the actively seeking work tests and associated forms which have to be completed by claimants; and if he will take action in order to simplify such forms.
Mr. JacksonI have not had any representations concerning the actively seeking work tests and associated forms. The matter of reviewing the forms falls within the responsibility of the Employment Service executive agency. I have therefore referred this issue to Mr. Mike Fogden, the agency's chief executive, for reply.
