Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make it his policy to release work programme provider performance data according to the age of participant.

Each Work Programme statistical release gives a breakdown of provider performance against published minimum performance levels by payment group. These groups are assigned by the age of the claimant and the benefit they are in receipt of at the time of referral to the programme.

Information on the Work Programme split by age and contract can be found on the tabulation tool which (as well as the statistical release information) can be found at:
