Restart Programmes (Hansard, 4 November 1993)

§ Mr. Michael Forsyth

Responsibility for the subject of the 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.

421W

Letter from Mr. M. Fogden to Mr. Jim Cousins, dated 4 November 1993 As the Employment Service is an Executive Agency, the Secretary of State asked me to write to you direct to respond to your Parliamentary Question to him about Restart Courses. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief Executive of the Agency. Restart Courses aim to help those people who have been unemployed for a long time and are having the most difficulty in getting back to work. Attending a course complements regular job search by providing people with the opportunity to explore all the options open to them arid give them confidence to take the next step back to work. They normally last a week. We currently have around 180 Restart course contracts with organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors. These contracts are normally awarded as a result of a full competitive tendering exercise. Full details about each contract are held locally by the Area Manager who awarded the contract. I attach a list of contractors which was last compiled In April 1993. Contracts normally run for 2 years. In some cases contracts may be either extended or shortened where changes to the programme are anticipated. In the current financial year we aim to provide up to 140,000 Restart Course places. I hope this is helpful. As decided by the Administration Committee of the House of Commons, Chief Executive replies to written Parliamentary Questions will now be published in the Official Report. I will also place a copy of this letter in the Library of the House.
