-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mrs. May To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions over what time period each of the proposals successful in the Future Jobs Fund bidding round which concluded in July 2009 will operate; and how many and by what date jobs will be created under each scheme. Jim Knight There is a rolling grant award process, with bidding rounds closing at the end of every month. There were 117 successful bidders for the initial bidding round which closed on 30 June. These bids will create jobs between October 2009 and March 2011. There were 30 successful bidders for the second bidding round and 18 for the third round. From the first bidding round, the Government are granting funding now only for jobs that will start between October 2009 and March 2010. The Government have so far granted funding for approximately 31,000 jobs on this basis. We will then assess performance of the Future Jobs Fund before extending grants. We will be undertaking these performance reviews in late 2009 and early 2010. In total, successful bidders in the first round had bid for approximately 75,000 jobs over the period October 2009 to March 2011, although it is not possible at this stage to state precisely how many of these further jobs will be funded after the performance reviews have concluded. In total 150,000 new jobs will be created under the Future Jobs Fund between October 2009 and March 2011, of which 100,000 will be for young people. The other 50,000 will be in employment hotspots, and will also be open to young people in those areas. Mr. Hunt To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many bids for funding from the Future Jobs Fund have been received from organisations in the (a) culture, music and creative industries and (b) sports and media industries; and how much such organisations have received funding from the fund. Jim Knight [holding answer 26 October 2009]: The Department for Work and Pensions does not have a detailed breakdown of the sectors that the bids seek to create jobs in. The list of successful bidders to the Future Jobs Fund is available on our website at www.dwp.gov.uk/futurejobsfund. Many of these bids are from partnerships who plan to create jobs with a variety of organisations, in different sectors. The Football League Trust and the National Skills Academy for Sport led bid will be creating Future Jobs Fund jobs primarily in the sports sector. Information on the levels of funding awarded is not publicly available as this is commercially confidential.
