Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people (a) have started the Youth Obligation Support Programme and (b) are taking part in the Youth Obligation Support Programme for the most recent period for which information is available.

As the Youth Obligation Support Programme, is being rolled out across the country as part of the broader Universal Credit roll-out, we are using a test and learn process to deliver our services. We are currently reviewing how we best collect and assimilate data on the Youth Obligation Support Programme, to assure ourselves of its delivery.
