New Deal for Long Term Unemployed

Mr. Frank Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many people were on the new deal 25 plus programme for the (a) first time, (b) second time, (c) third time, (d) fourth time, (e) fifth time and (f) sixth time or greater in each month since 1998. [124440]

Mr. Jim Murphy [holding answer 1 March 2007]: Some people will return to new deal after leaving the programme, but this is inevitable in a dynamic labour market. New deal 25 plus has to be considered in the context of the people it sets out to help. People who suffer long periods of unemployment can find it particularly difficult to get back to and remain in work. The longer they are unemployed, the greater the barriers to getting work, and helping them into work is a considerable achievement.

The available information is in the following table.
