Mr. Philip Hammond: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions when he expects to correct the statistics on second tier provision in 2004-05 following the validation of more class one national insurance contributions. [141527]
Mr. Plaskitt: The DWP are due to receive updated data from HMRC about valid class one contributions during July. We will then, under the national statistics protocols, analyse the effect of this update and decide whether a revision of the statistics is appropriate.
The second tier pension provision statistics accurately reflect the information held by HMRC for valid class one national insurance contributions at the time of publication.
Mr. Frank Field:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many participants in the new deal for disabled people were or have been on the
scheme for more than 12 months since July 2001; and how many participants left for employment in each month since July 2001. [137646]
Mr. Jim Murphy [holding answer 18 May 2007]: Up to the end of November 2006, new deal for disabled people (NDDP) had been successful in helping 134,160 people into work, including 101,720 people who had registered with, and received assistance from, NDDP job brokers.
Participants on NDDP can remain on the programme for as long as they need help, and up to November 2006, 142,460 people are recorded as having been on the programme for more than 12 months.
When NDDP participants enter employment, they are not necessarily counted as leavers from the programme as they are entitled to a minimum of twenty-six weeks in-work support from their new deal provider.
Information in the table represents those people who left NDDP but elected to either not access the in-work support element of the programme, or to utilise this only for a short period of time. These participants are therefore the only group that appear under the definition of those leaving directly to employment.
Mr. Hunt: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many people registered with the new deal for disabled people in each year since 2001. [142538]
Mr. Jim Murphy: The information is in the following table.

Notes: 1. Data for 2001 are from July 2001 when the programme began. 2. Latest complete year data is to December 2006. Source: New Deal Evaluation Database, Information Directorate, Department for Work and Pensions. |

Mr. Frank Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many participants of the new deal for partners left the scheme for employment in each month since 1998; and how many returned to benefit within six months of having left the new deal. [141113]
Mr. Jim Murphy [holding answer 7 June 2007]: The latest available information is in the following table.
Information on leavers from new deal for partners is only available from May 2004.
This is the earliest date from which information has been collected centrally.
