Ministers end A4e contract for welfare-to-work scheme

[pompeyfaith]

The government has ended a contract with welfare-to-work company A4e after deciding that continuing would be "too great a risk", it has said.
Employment minister Chris Grayling said the Mandatory Work Activity contract to help up to 1,000 jobless people in south-east England find work would end.
The firm is the subject of a police investigation into allegations of fraud relating to government schemes.
An eighth employee of A4e was arrested on Monday.
Seven other people are on bail until dates in late May, June and July.

Its former chairman, Emma Harrison, was appointed by Prime Minister David Cameron to be the government's "family champion" in 2010.
She resigned from that role, and the chairmanship, in February, saying she did not want the "media focus on me to be any distraction for A4e".
