That would be very useful. Especially if it were to prove that Chris Grayling misled Parliament. I very much look forward to seeing that.

I think you are possibly getting confused between Work Capability Assessments and work related interviews (assuming you don't mean Work Focused Interviews). WCAs are specific to those claiming ESA whereas the work related interviews apply to anyone seeking employment. It is not unusual for private sector companies (eg Grafton) to be paid a lump sum for getting someone a job. Indeed it's how recruitment agencies have worked for decades.
If, however, you can provide proof that ESA claimants - and ESA claimants alone - are being targetted specifically by these work related interviews and that any such initiative is anything beyond conventional recruitment agency practices then that is a very different matter. Again I'd genuinely very much welcome an opportunity to view any such proof if you are in a position to make it available.
Thanks.
