Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment when she expects the review of access to work to be completed; and if she will make a statement. [19146]

Mr. Forth

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.

Letter from Mike Fogden to Mr. David Blunkett, dated 6 March 1996:

The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question about the review of Access to Work.Further to my earlier reply to you on this subject printed in Hansard, 24 January, column 285, the review of Access to Work is nearly complete, following discussions with organisations principally concerned about the programme's operation.I hope this is helpful.
