Roger Mullin – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Roger Mullin on 2016-09-05.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, (a) how many and (b) what proportion of people in the workfare programme in (i) Fife and (ii) Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency moved into full-time employment in each of the last five years.

Damian Hinds

The Department does not operate a “workfare programme” therefore does not hold the information requested.

The Department does publish some information on the Work Programme, however the information requested for those who moved into full-time employment whilst on the Work Programme is not available.

Information is available for the number of Work Programme Referrals, Attachments and Job Outcomes (achieved when an individual has been in employment for 3 or 6 months, depending on their payment group), by various geographies and this can be found at: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk/
