§ Earl Russellasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Baroness Blackstone (WA 136) that "there is evidence that those who are sanctioned subsequently comply with the responsibilities they have as New Deal participants", what is the nature of that evidence, what points it demonstrates, and where it is to be found. [HL2966]
§ Baroness BlackstoneThe vast majority of young people sanctioned for not attending New Deal options as required are only sanctioned on one occasion. We take that to be evidence that those participants who are sanctioned subsequently comply with their responsibilities.
