That is the point, they do. However, there are some parts of the Act that they may use to prevent the information from being disclosed, 'get outs' if you like.

I suggest you read some of the threads in the FOI section.

BTW, Jobcentre/Jobseeker Direct is a government agency, not a company. It does not apply to private companies. It does apply to government offices, departments and agencies. Wink

Just in case you were thinking of doing an FOI it may not be worth just yet as I'm still waiting on my internal review. See here for details of the FOI response I received from them.

When I used to have unlimited landline calls and was bored one day i dialed all the numbers in manchester that belonged to the jobcenter. Most of the offices were 0161253**** so started 0001 and worked my way up. I got many departments and found out who was who.
Some offices now have moved away from 0161253 number now but many still have. I cannot check them now as no longer have free calls. but someone could do that and see how many they come up with.
The same with Shefield head office, there are at least 5 jobseekerdirect numbers either side of the head offices 0114 number
