HC Deb 13 January 2003 vol 397 c363W
24. Mr. Stephen O'Brien

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what targets his Department has for reducing the number of incapacity benefit claimants. [89723]

Mr. Nicholas Brown

We have no targets for getting people who claim incapacity benefit into work. Our Green Paper, "Pathways to Work", sets out our strategy for enabling people on incapacity benefit to move into work, and so become and remain independent.
