The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an estimate of the financial impact of the Access to Work scheme to the UK economy.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The Department has not made an estimate of the financial impact of the Access to Work scheme to the UK economy and currently does not have plans to do so. It’s impact is important, however, in enabling people to work who would not otherwise be able to do so.
