Kickstart Scheme (22 January 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Kickstart gateways have been set up by (a) region and (b) local authority area.

Asked by:
Alison McGovern (Labour)

The table below shows the number of gateway organisations approved as part of the Department for Work and Pensions’ Kickstart scheme, broken down by region as of 11/01/2021. We are currently unable to break this data down by Local Authority, this data reflects the location of an organisation’s registered address and not necessarily the location where the gateway will be supporting Kickstart job placements.

Region	Number of unique Gateways Approved
London	143
North West	95
South East	78
West Midlands	54
Scotland	51
East of England	45
East Midlands	43
Yorkshire and The Humber	42
Wales	31
South West	26
