Dear Sir or Madam,

In his speech to the CESI Welfare-to-work conference earlier this
year, Alan Cave mentioned that the department produces a single
monthly report summarising the performance of all welfare-to-work
provisions against their agreed targets, with further MI details
such as performance against spend and regional and district level
performance.

I would be grateful if you could send through copies of these
reports, which have apparently been produced each month since June
or thereabouts. If editing out excluded information in the
requested reports would take more than the allowable time (which
seems unlikely, but still), then I would be grateful if you could
send through the most current reports that can be made suitable
within the time available.

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Johnston

Dear Mr Johnstone

On 13 November you sent the following Freedom of Information
request to the Department for Work and Pensions:-

In his speech to the CESI Welfare-to-work conference earlier this
year, Alan Cave mentioned that the department produces a single
monthly report summarising the performance of all welfare-to-work
provisions against their agreed targets, with further MI details
such as performance against spend and regional and district level
performance.

I would be grateful if you could send through copies of these
reports, which have apparently been produced each month since June
or thereabouts. If editing out excluded information in the
requested reports would take more than the allowable time (which
seems unlikely, but still), then I would be grateful if you could
send through the most current reports that can be made suitable
within the time available.

I am enclosing the most recent (November) report. This shows the
performance of contracted provision up to the end of September
2008.

You requested previous reports and you will see that month on month
information is included in pages 3 –7 of the enclosed report.

The front two pages of the report, and a line of text from page
three, have been removed because of their commercial sensitivity.
The relevant exemption from disclosure that applies to this
information is found at section 43 of the Freedom of Information
Act. I am satisfied that disclosure of the withheld information
would, or would be likely to, damage the commercial interests of
The Department and that the public interest in protecting this
information outweighs the public interest in its disclosure.

Some financial data has also been removed as it is information
intended for future publication. The relevant exemption from
disclosure that applies to this information is found at section 22
of the Freedom of Information Act. I am satisfied that it would be
inappropriate to provide this information prior to it being audited
and formally published.

If you are not satisfied with my handling of your request/reason(s)
for not giving you the information please tell me why within two
calendar months of the date of this letter. I will then arrange for
someone to conduct an internal review of your request and my
handling/decision. The review will be conducted by another officer,
usually of a more senior grade to myself. This person will have
taken no part in my original decision. You will be advised of their
decision in writing.

If you are still not content with the outcome of the internal
review you have the right to apply directly to the Information
Commissioner to look into the way your request has been handled.
Please note that generally the Commissioner cannot make a decision
unless you have first exhausted DWP’s own complaints procedure. The
Commissioner can be contacted at:

I apologise for the slight delay in meeting your request but hope
that this fully meets your needs. If you need a hard copy of the
letter and report, please forward your full postal details by
return.

Yours sincerely,
