Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 November 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Jobs and Social Security.


Jobs and Social Security

May I draw the Secretary of State’s attention back to the invitation to tender, which presumably he signed off? Under the heading of “Key Performance Measure”, which is in bold type and is the thing that we are interested in and debating, it says:

“Performance will be measured by comparing job outcomes…in the previous 12 months to referrals in the same period.”

The target for performance in the previous 12 months was 5%, and the Work programme statistics delivered yesterday showed that that target had been missed comprehensively.
