Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of the total pay withheld from people referred to Bespoke Patterns Ltd under the Kickstart scheme.
This question was answered on 5th July 2021
Department for Work and Pensions arranges grant agreements with employers. The grant agreement requires the employer to put in place a contract of employment with each young person that takes up a Kickstart job. DWP is not a party to these contracts because Kickstart jobs are real jobs and subject to all relevant employment law.
