One Family spoke about the transition from welfare to work being complex and cutting across all Departments. Will the officials tell us briefly what interaction has taken place across Departments on lone parents? The report is needed ASAP. The officials said it had helped to inform the relevant discussions on budget 2017. Is there anything they can pinpoint in the budget where the measures were taken into account? They mentioned that 9,000 lone parents had been selected for activation. What are the schemes involved? Are the majority being steered towards JobPath?
