A report on the impact of reduced rates on young jobseekers was due to be published in 2016, as per the commitment in Pathways to Work. More than three years later and, quite coincidentally, on the same day as I submitted a freedom of information request to the Minister on communications with her Department relating to the report, the report landed on the Minister's desk. That was on 3 December. The Minister has refused to publish the report because she says she wants to read it and discuss it with her officials. She has not published the report, as was committed to. She said she would furnish the report to the committee. That the Minister has to read the report does not stop her publishing it.
