The last bit is priceless:

“Great care is taken to get things right, and in this time the UKSA has only written direct to DWP Ministers on two occasions about issues raised with it on DWP statistics. DWP has responded to these points and taken on board UKSA’s suggestions.”

‘It’s worth mentioning that the UKSA does not generally write to the minister - it writes to the person who has complained and sends a copy to the minister. Misusing statistics again? You decide’

Is DWP a hive of postmodernists who regard truth as anything they want it to be???
