answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The Department is not able to assess the prospects of former Remploy factory workers made redundant as part of the 2008 modernisation plan as this plan agreed by the previous Government did not include tracking processes.</p><p> </p><p>Before implementing the Sayce recommendations, the Government considered the lessons from implementation of the modernisation plan changes. This is why it introduced the £8 million guaranteed People Help and Support Package (PHSP) providing help for up to 18 months to disabled former Remploy workers and is tracking the support that this is providing. As at 21 March 2014, 1,513 disabled former Remploy workers are choosing to work with our Personal Case Workers to find another job and 716 are in work.</p> more like this

answer text <p /> <p /> <p>Estimates were made of both the future AME expenditure and the revenue from contributions in 2015-16 and 2016-17 which would determine future state pension expenditure levels. Estimates made by the Department were certified by the Office for Budget Responsibility. Figures for the medium term impacts in cash terms were published on page 46 in Budget 2014: policy costings available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/295067/PU1638_policy_costings_bud_2014_with_correction_slip.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/295067/PU1638_policy_costings_bud_2014_with_correction_slip.pdf</a> .</p><p> </p><p>Further information on the long-term Exchequer impact in 2013-14 price terms is included in the table below. As noted in the policy costings document, there is uncertainty about levels of take-up of this policy. If take-up was higher than assumed both AME and Revenue would increase and if take-up was lower than assumed then both would decrease.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>AME</p></td><td><p>Revenue</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>-15</p></td><td><p>+415</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>-50</p></td><td><p>+410</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>-65</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>-65</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>-60</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020-21</p></td><td><p>-60</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021-22</p></td><td><p>-55</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022-23</p></td><td><p>-55</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2023-24</p></td><td><p>-55</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2024-25</p></td><td><p>-50</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2025-26</p></td><td><p>-45</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2026-27</p></td><td><p>-45</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2027-28</p></td><td><p>-40</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2028-29</p></td><td><p>-40</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2029-30</p></td><td><p>-35</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2030-31</p></td><td><p>-35</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2031-32</p></td><td><p>-30</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2032-33</p></td><td><p>-30</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2033-34</p></td><td><p>-25</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Notes to table: Figures are in £m, 2013-14 price terms, rounded to nearest £5m.</p>
