To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many requests for voluntary contributions to access to work funding from employers in 2005-06 resulted in contributions being made; and what the total value was of such voluntary contributions. (109750)

It is standard practice for Advisers to request a voluntary contribution for every single Access to Work application. However, information about the number of resulting contributions actually made and the total value of such contributions during 2005-06 is not collated centrally and would be available only at a disproportionate cost.
