Work Programme
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many hours on average are worked each week by participants taking part in the Work Programme.
- Answer
-
Work Programme participants do not undertake work unless they are on a work experience placement. Work experience will be over a short period, with restricted hours in recognition of the participant’s limited capability for work. To collate information on average hours worked whilst on a placement would exceed the disproportionate costs limit placed on parliamentary questions.
