Department for Work and Pensions: Job Creation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she has made an estimate of the number of new jobs that will be created as a result of the Pathways to Work Green Paper.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The proposals in the Green Paper to fix the broken welfare system and help more people into work are important to this Government’s number one mission to grow the economy and drive up living standards across the country.
Pathways to Work is one of the largest ever investment in employment, health and skills support for disabled people and those with health conditions. To maximise its impact we need the input of stakeholders and disabled people themselves and we will use a ‘collaboration committee’ to develop our thinking further.
