Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what information he has on the number of unemployed people
who are identified as dyslexic during a jobseeker's allowance interview. [60965]
Mr. Andrew Smith: Responsibility for the subject of the question has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its Chief
Executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Leigh Lewis to Mr. Jeremy Corbyn, dated November 1998:
As the Employment Service is an Executive Agency, the Secretary of State has asked me to reply direct to your question concerning
the number of people who are identified as dyslexic during a Jobseeker's Allowance interview. This is something which falls within
the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief Executive of the Agency.
The Employment Service does not keep statistics on the number of unemployed people identified as having dyslexia. Where an
individual is identified as having dyslexia they can be referred to a Disability Employment Adviser for specialist support to help
them find employment.
I am sorry that I cannot be more helpful on this occasion.
