To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what percentage of New Deal pilot projects include private sector involvement. [82303]
Mr. Andrew Smith
Private sector organisations lead delivery in 10 (36 per cent.) of the 28 pilots for the New Deal for long term unemployed people aged 25 or over and five (42 per cent.) of the 12 Personal Adviser Service pilot projects and three (12 per cent.) of the 24 Innovative schemes under the New Deal for the Disabled. Private sector organisations may also be involved in New Deal pilots as sub-contractors.
