PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Kickstart Scheme: Finance (9 June 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 23 May 2022 to Question 4563 on Kickstart Scheme: Finance, what total amount of Kickstart Scheme funding from her Department was handed back to the Treasury at the end of the financial year 2020-21.

Asked by:
Alison McGovern (Labour)

In the financial year 2020-21, DWP obtained £25m ring-fenced funding for the Kickstart Scheme. None of the £25m was subsequently returned to HM Treasury.

DWP’s 2021-22 financial accounts are currently being audited, so we are unable to provide this information.
