Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on World Class Skills 2020.


World Class Skills 2020

My hon. Friend rightly identifies the significant number of unemployed and, indeed, unemployable young people in this country today. He referred to the fact that they were being kept out of skilled and semi-skilled jobs. Is it not the case that the large-scale and unprecedented immigration to this country also means that, to a large extent, many of the unskilled jobs in the hospitality industry and the like are being kept out of the reach of those among our under-23s who might be able to qualify for them?
