Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many places were (a) available and (b) taken up on (i) the employment option and (ii) the full-time education and training option on the new deal for the long-term unemployed in each year since its inception; and what the cost per place in each case was. [9332] Mr. Nicholas Brown: The new deal for 25-plus provides individually tailored help for long-term unemployed adults. Support through subsidised employment and education and training opportunities (ETO) is provided on the basis of individual need. As a result, the number of places available for subsidised employment or ETO relate directly to the number of participants for whom such provision is the most effective route into sustained, unsubsidised employment. The table shows the number of subsidised employment and ETO places that have been taken up since July 1998. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Year Subsidised employment ETO From July 1998 1,811 1,381 1999 6,597 3,995 2000 5,692 2,383 January to July 2001 2,051 {1}199 Total 16,151 7,958 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. {1} Numbers taking up subsidised employment and ETO placements are for pre-April 2001 starts and hence do not include starts to the enhanced new deal 25-plus intensive activity period. The figures are taken from the Statistical First Release (SFR). The number of starts to ETO may be undercounted and future SFRs will show revised figures as necessary Estimated average unit costs for subsidised employment and ETO are available for 1999-2000 and 2000-01. These are set out in the table. £ _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, pursuant to his answer of 3 February 1999, Official Report, columns 661-62, for what reasons his answer did not indicate how many persons aged 18 to 24 years (a) have been invited to join the New Deal and failed to keep any appointments and (b) started the New Deal but subsequently dropped out. [71643] Mr. Andrew Smith: Responsibility for the subject of this question has been delegated to the Employment Service agency under its Chief Executive. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given. Letter from Leigh Lewis to Mr. James Clappison, dated 17 February 1999: As the Employment Service is an Executive Agency, the Secretary of State for Education and Employment has asked me to reply to your question about the reasons why questions 66965 and 66966 were not answered in his reply on 3 February. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief Executive of the Agency. I am sorry if my earlier reply was unclear. As to those persons aged 18 to 24 years who have been invited to join the New Deal but who have failed to keep any appointments, I said in my earlier reply that of the 203, 100 young people who had started New Deal by the end of November, 14,170 signed off Jobseeker's Allowance before attending their initial appointment. All of the 14,170 therefore left before attending any appointment. We do not monitor centrally the number of young people who fail to attend their initial appointment but who do attend a second or subsequent appointment. Where a young person fails to attend interviews with an Adviser but continues to claim Jobseeker's Allowance a referral of their claim to an Adjudication Officer will normally be made. Up to the end of November 1998, 2,577 such referrals had been made. As to those who started the New Deal but subsequently dropped out, my earlier reply said that, up to the end of November 1998, 22,760 young people had left New Deal and Jobseeker's Allowance to unknown destinations which I had taken to be the information which was being sought. I would be very grateful if you would write to me if I am still not providing the specific information you are seeking in order that I may try to do so. I hope this is helpful.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to her Department's letter of 16 December in respect of her Department's research into the take up of income support by pensioners, who is carrying out the research, which organisations were invited to tender for it and what are her Department's (a) terms of reference and (b) budget for such research. [23116] Mr. Denham: Research has been commissioned comprising in-depth interviews with pensioners currently claiming and not claiming, but potentially eligible for, Income Support. It will also include focus groups with pensioners and advice agencies. The terms of reference are to explore the reasons for not claiming Income Support and identify possible means of increasing take-up. Exploring the views of those who are already claiming (as well as those who are not) will give an insight into what encourages, as well as discourages, claims for Income Support. Research commissioned by the Department is usually competitively tendered. In this case, the sample was drawn from existing data, so only the organisations involved in the original survey--the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Social and Community Planning Research (SCPR)--were invited to tender. A contract worth £66,000 was awarded to Social and Community Planning Research. A quantitative survey of pensioners potentially eligible for, but not claiming, Income Support is currently being negotiated; details are not yet finalised. An estimated one million pensioners are not taking up their entitlement to Income Support, and we will be running a number of pilot schemes from April this year to find the best way to help them to claim their entitlement.
