the Work Programme, the correct referral procedure mandated by the DWP

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

James Spencer-Gray

Dear Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman,

Could you please give a firm and binding statement that when you have been asked to clarify if an individuals referral to the Work Programme was correct or not your judgement followed all Government public domain documentation, the law as per specific Acts of Parliament and all court precedents especially those hand down by the Supreme Court?

Such evidence as the original documentation provided by the DWP that stated that an individual could only be correctly allocated " IF AT THE TIME OF REFERAAL THEY WERE IN RECEIPT OF AN OUT OF WORK INCOME REPLACEMENT BENEFIT".

Judgements followed the provisions of the SOCIAL SECURITY (CREDITS) REGULATIONS OF 1975, which clearly states that an individual only in receipt of National Insurance credits are technically and legally defined AS NOT BEING IN RECEIPT OF ANY BENEFITS WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE JSA ALLOWANCE, THE ESA ALLOWANCE AND DISABILITY BENEFIT.

The judgement handed down by the SUPREME COURT in 2013 with the regard to the case of REILLY and WILSON v SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WORK AND PENSIONS and of the ensuing declaration made by the DWP that they did not run any schemes where jobseekers are forced to work for free.

That all your judgement strictly comply with your published CHARTER which stated that you will contact the relevant Government department for clarification of specific points.
Can you also CONFIRM, as per the PRIME MINISTERS offices declaration that all Government policy documentation is correct and valid as evidence and that all your judgement past and present have complied with such declarations and with the law?
Yours faithfully,

James Spencer-Gray

this request should merit a fast response otherwise it could be construed that the office of the Parliamentary Ombudsman hols Government policy in contempt, Parliament in contempt and final our entire legal system in contempt.
It would be interesting to know if the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs select committee will feel compelled to act knowing the utter contempt the P.O. holds such institutions in our whether they would condone such action

Dear Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman,

I refer to your confirmation, 17.11.208, to my FoI request which has still not been forthcoming and therefore I formally request an internal review as to why you have failed to comply with your statutory legal commitments.

Yours faithfully,

James Spencer-Gray
