The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an estimate of the potential impact of the £240 million funding allocated to her Department in the Autumn Budget 2024 for trialling new ways of getting people back into work on savings to the public purse in each of the next five years.

Answered by Alison McGovern

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to Question 17010 on 5th December 2024, for the details of how we have allocated the £240 million funding across the White Paper measures.

We are working with trailblazers to create their local plans and we are developing an evaluation strategy to measure impacts, including savings to ensure we make the most effective interventions to get Britain working.
