HC Deb 30 April 2002 vol 384 c750W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how many people employed by the non-departmental public bodies for which she is responsible under the new deal for young people in each of the last four years have subsequently(a) found unsubsidised employment for more than 13 weeks and (b) returned to jobseeker's allowance or other benefits. [49608]

Clare Short

My Department is responsible for three non-departmental public bodies. None of them employ any support or other staff, and the question of using the new deal does not arise.
