I am publishing today the autumn performance report of the Department for Work and Pensions. The report is intended to supplement the department’s annual report published in May 2006 (Cm 6829). The report provides the latest account of how the department is performing against its public service agreement targets and its efficiency challenge.

For the first time, this publication has been specifically designed to be accessed online and is available on the department’s website. For the convenience of Members, some printed copies have been placed in the Library. Copies are also available from the Vote Office and Printed Paper Office.
