Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to support businesses which have not received the Kickstart Scheme wages and related costs for employers from the gateway.

Gateway organisations have a responsibility to carry out their obligations in accordance with all applicable law. If a concern is raised, DWP will investigate any organisation where there is evidence of a failure to meet obligations, which may result in rescinding grant agreements where appropriate.
