Government to snoop on computer use of jobless to check they are looking for work

  • New website will monitor whether unemployed search for three jobs a week
  • Benefits will be cut for those who do not do enough to look for work
  • Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith says website will match vacancies to jobless 'while they sleep'
  • Labour opposes 1% cap on rises in benefits

    A new website launched by ministers will remotely monitor whether benefits claimants are making enough effort to find employment.
    Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith warned that jobseekers could see their benefits slashed if they fail to look for three jobs a week on the ‘revolutionary’ new government website.

    The new Universal Jobmatch site will remotely track whether the unemployed are doing enough to look for work, and match their CVs to vacancies while they sleep
