Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 12 October 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what estimate he has made of the number of claimants who will qualify for his planned mandatory work activity scheme.
We envisage that mandatory work activity (MWA) will deliver around 19,000 placements per year over the next four years, The scheme is intended to target the small number of JSA claimants who do enough to meet the conditions of their claim while at the same time continually failing to demonstrate the focus and discipline that is a key requirement of finding, securing and retaining employment.
