Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people have been offered full-time equivalent employment through the Kickstart Scheme to date.

We are not currently able to provide this information. As of 22^nd April the Kickstart Scheme has approximately 16,600 jobs started by young people but we do not hold information on which employers are offering hours over and above the 25 hours a week minimum.
