HC Deb 10 November 1998 vol 319 c164W
Mr. Oaten

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what funds his Department plans to make available for each of the three stages of pilot schemes for the introduction of a single gateway. [58674]

Angela Eagle

Final decisions have still to be taken on the amount of additional resources to be made available to fund the single gateway pilots. Detailed work on costs is still being undertaken. An important reason for piloting the single gateway is to measure costs in order to inform decisions about national implementation.
