Written question asked by Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) on Thursday, 22 March 2007, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 27 March 2007. It was answered by James Purnell (Labour) on Monday, 16 April 2007 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Social Security Benefits: Highland Council

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions whether his Department plans to continue to fund two posts in the benefit maximisation team at Highland Council after the end of March.
Answer

[holding answer 27 March 2007]: No. Under the Link-Age Programme, it was made clear to contractors that funds from The Partnership Fund were time limited and there was no expectation that future funding would be sought from any source, or any extension of funding granted. The purpose of the project was solely for information gathering and evaluation to inform any future strategies and policies.
