	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p><strong> </strong>The Veterans Interview Programme was launched in November 2012 as a non-political, cross party initiative. It was purposefully set up with light governance arrangements to ensure the focus is on support for veterans and not on completing paperwork. Although DWP provides support for the scheme on this basis, employers are not required to let the Department know once they have decided to take part in the programme. As a result we do not have the information available to answer this question.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 09/02/2016 14:47:08 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
