A recruitment agency (Pertemps) has subjected jobseekers to 'degrading' drug tests in a Greenock street, the Greenock Telegraph reports. People were asked to step out of Greenock Jobcentre - on to the street - for a drug test. The job seekers were subjected to mouth swaps with by-passers looking on.

The Jobcentre had not given its permission to conduct the drug tests inside the building, the report continues.
