Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department has plans to maintain its provision of support for jobseekers to become self-employed through the New Enterprise Allowance.

DWP is committed to support to people in, or considering, self-employment to progress to sustained financial self-sufficiency. The Department is looking at the options for the best way to continue to provide support to this group following the current contract cycle.
