HC Deb 09 November 1998 vol 319 c90W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if the Government's evaluation of the New Deal for Young People will take into account the effects of substitution, dead-weight and displacement. [58876]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Yes: we are evaluating New Deal very thoroughly: that evaluation will take account of substitution, dead-weight and displacement. Details of the monitoring and evaluation of New Deal are contained in an article in the November issue of Labour Market Trends which has been placed in the Library.
