Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much funding his Department provided to sector-based work academies in each of the last five years.
Departmental funding to cover administration costs of delivering the scheme for financial year 2021/22 is £14.1m and for 2022/23 is £12m. The training element of SWAPs is funded separately through the adult education system.
Funding was not ring-fenced within the wider Jobcentre support offer and therefore cannot be identified.
