New Enterprise Allowance
(asked on 18th November 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much his Department has spent on the weekly allowance element of the new enterprise allowance in each month since that scheme's inception.
The New Enterprise Allowance trailblazer started January 2011 with national roll out commencing August 2011.
When the New Enterprise Allowance trailblazer started, the costs were not captured separately and were instead charged centrally with other trailblazer costs up to March 2011. Therefore for the period January 2011 to March 2011, I am unable to provide you with this information as we estimate that the cost of complying with your request would exceed the appropriate limit of £850.
The costs were accounted for separately from April 2011. Please see below for a monthly breakdown from April 2011 up to the last complete reporting period (ending 31 October 2014) in 2014/15: -
