Low Incomes: Government Assistance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of support for low income workers.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
This Government is committed to supporting low income workers to boost their earnings and progress in work.
DWP offers work coach support in Jobcentres and a variety of contracted employment programmes to help people into work.
As part of our plans to Get Britain Working, we will create a new Jobs and Careers Service to give everyone access to employment support, not just those on benefits.
