Supplementary memorandum by the Resolution
Foundation
FOLLOW UP
TO EVIDENCE
SESSION ON
14 MARCH 2006 [301]
Thank you for the opportunity to give evidence
to the Committee's inquiry this morning. I am sorry that the Foundation's
Chief Executive, Sue Regan, was unable to attend the hearing due
to ill health.
As I said this morning, we are currently undertaking
further research into the "target" group of people we
believe could be served by a new national advice service and into
how such a service could be delivered. This work will give us
a clear understanding of the advice needs of the target group
and fully costed options for delivering the service.
We should therefore be in a position to share
concrete proposals (including budgets!) with the Government, industry
and other stakeholders by the end of April. We would be keen to
do likewise with the Committee and would be happy to present it
to you and/or any of your colleagues if this would be helpful.
I will also ensure that we send you the further information I
promised on comparable international experiences.
Please let me know if this is something you
and/or your colleagues would like to discuss or whether further
written evidence would suffice. In the meantime, should we be
able to assist the inquiry in any other way, please do not hesitate
to get in touch.
