Lord Rowlands – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Rowlands on 2014-06-12.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the final cost of terminating the welfare to work contracts made before May 2010.

Lord Freud

We have interpreted the question as referring to the early cancellation of Flexible New Deal (FND) contracts in 2011.

I would draw your attention to the DWP Annual Accounts 2011-12 (page 174) FND exit costs.
