§ Mr. WillettsTo ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how work is defined in relation to the target of getting 70 per cent. of lone parents into work. [64123]
§ Mr. Nicholas BrownThe lone parent employment rate is calculated using the Labour Force Survey (LFS) definition of employment. This definition includes anyone aged 16 or over who does at least one hour's paid work in the week prior to their LFS interview, or who has a job that they are temporarily away from (for example because they are on holiday). Also included are people who do unpaid work in a family business and people on Government-supported employment training schemes, in line with ILO definitions.
