Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, in how many and what proportion of families supported by the Troubled Families Programme have unemployed family members entered employment.

On 22 June 2015 we announced that local authorities had reported that 116,654 out of 117,910 families supported by the original troubled families programme had been ‘turned around’. Of these, 11,921 families had seen an adult come off out of work benefits and into employment.
