§ Ms JowellCar loan or leasing schemes may form part of the forthcoming Action Teams for Jobs initiative. In these areas we are setting up specialist teams to tackle the barriers that stop jobless people in deprived communities taking up work. Each team will have the flexibility to focus its resource on solving the problems unique to its area. This will include solutions to transport problems but will also cover other barriers to finding, keeping and progressing in work. Action Teams will be fully evaluated and the findings published in due course.
