Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the answer of 16 October 2026, to Question 32857, on European Social Fund, what the specific type of underperformance that resulted in the financial correction of -£806,690.49 against Greater London Authority, and how was the money claimed back.

The £806,690.49 correction related to contractual underperformance by delivery partners across two DWP-funded projects delivered by the Greater London Authority.

Fewer employment, skills and training-related outputs were achieved than expected, meaning that advance payments could not be fully offset against eligible delivery.

All 16 corrections were recovered by offset from subsequent claims.
