(1) There is no split currently available between new deal for young people and new deal 25 plus for 2006/07. The expenditure has been presented as a combined figure until a final apportionment is made in the departmental report.
Notes:
1. Spend data includes all new deal programme costs and allowances paid to participants apart from the 50 plus element of the working tax credit. As this is not included, new deal 50 plus costs reduce after 2002/03.
2. Expenditure for new deal 50 plus for 2006/07 was under half a million and is thus not shown.
3. Following agreement with HM Treasury in 2002/03, ring fences were removed from new deal. Administrative costs are excluded as it is no longer possible to identify the costs of administering the costs of each new deal separately from the costs of other labour market activities.
4. Expenditure data includes start-up costs.
5. Following changes to the new deal 25 plus programme in April 2001 when a mandatory intensive activity period was introduced, programme costs rose significantly.
6. Expenditure for new deal for partners in 2002/03 and 2003/04 is not recorded in the table as, excluding administrative costs, costs were around £300,000 for both years and all figures are rounded to the nearest million. New deal for partners was re-launched in April 2004.
7. Programme start dates are: new deal for young people: January 1998; new deal 25 plus: July 1998; new deal for lone parents: October 1998; new deal for partners: April 1999; new deal 50 plus: April 2000; new deal for disabled people: July 2001 (new deal for disabled people pilots ran from September 1998-June 2001).
8. Latest figures are to March 2007.
