Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what progress has been made in turning round families in the Troubled Families programme; how many families in each local authority area have taken advantage of the scheme; and if he will make a statement.

The Troubled Families Programme is making good progress. As at the end of May 2014, local authorities had turned around 52,833 families. As at the end of March 2014, they had identified 111,574 families; and were working with 97,202 of those families.

My Department regularly publishes this information and the latest breakdown by individual local authority can be found at the following link:
