§ Mr. MilliganTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, if he has conducted the three-year review of the Resettlement Agency; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HagueThe Department recently completed a full evaluation of the Resettlement Agency, which has been in existence since 1989, in accordance with the Government's commitment to evaluate "Next Steps" agencies. This evaluation concluded that the agency successfully met its objectives in its first three years of operation and should continue for a further three years at which time another evaluation will take place. I have today placed in the Library copies of the agency's evaluation and framework documents.
