The New Deal programme (renamed Flexible New Deal from October 2009) was a workfare programme introduced by the first New Labour government in 1998, initially funded by a one-off £5 billion windfall tax on privatised utility companies. The programme aimed to reduce unemployment by providing training, subsidised employment and voluntary work to the unemployed The Employment Service was responsible for the new deal programme from 1997 through to 2001, when it merged with Department of Social Security and the policy groups of the Department for Education and Employment to form the Department for Work and Pensions. |
