Letter from Clare Dodgson to Mr. Frank Field, dated 13 March 2001:
As the Employment Service is an Executive Agency, the Secretary of State has asked Leigh Lewis to reply to your question, concerning representations he has received on the accuracy of the figures relating to the official total of vacancies held by Jobcentres. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to Mr Lewis as Chief Executive of the Agency. I am replying on Mr Lewis' behalf.In answer to your question, I am not aware of any representations to the Secretary of State for Education and Employment regarding the accuracy of the figures relating to the official total of vacancies held by Jobcentres. That said, I am willing to discuss any issues you may have on vacancies held by Jobcentres.I hope this is helpful.
