HC Deb 17 April 2002 vol 383 cc1001-2W
Mr. Willetts

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the New Deal for Lone Parents advertising campaign. [46470]

Mr. Nicholas Brown

Advertising is one of the methods used to make sure that lone parents are aware of the help and support available through the new deal for lone parents (NDLP) to help them move into work.

So far, over 300,000 lone parents have volunteered to participate in NDLP and over 130,000 of these have found work.
