Written question asked by Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Freud (Conservative) on Wednesday, 23 June 2010.


Flexible New Deal

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the legal costs of cancelling last year's phase 1 contracts with employment providers to deliver phase 1 of the Flexible New Deal.
Answer

We have embarked on some very productive meetings with FND1 providers on how between us we best manage the transition from Flexible New Deal to the new work programme. It is too early to provide an estimate of the likely costs of making this transition and indeed some of this will depend on whether existing FND1 providers are successful in bidding for the work programme.
