To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will set targets for the numbers of lone parents who leave income support as a consequence of the New Deal for Lone Parents. [84020]

In addition to the 12,500 lone parents who have already found jobs as a result of the New Deal for Lone Parents, we have set the Employment Service a target for 1999– 2000—to place a further 15,000 lone parents into work.
