HC Deb 08 November 2000 vol 356 c242W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many New Deal clients there were in each standard region, in(a) April 1999 to March 2000 and (b) April to August 2000; and how many of these (i) went into non-subsidised employment, (ii) went into New Deal options and (iii) left the register for other reasons. [134569]

Ms Jowell

The table shows, for each cohort of New Deal starts, the number who have subsequently gained an unsubsidised job from any stage of the process, begun an option from the gateway stage, and left New Deal and JSA for other reasons.

The figures are not mutually exclusive, as people who started an option may have subsequently gained a job or left the register.
