Proceeding contribution from Baroness Garden of Frognal (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 29 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Building Britain's Future.

Building Britain's Future

My Lords, I share the concerns which have been expressed around the House about youth unemployment. However, I noticed that recent figures of the 16 to 18 year-olds not in education, employment or training have risen in the first three months of this year from 13.6 per cent to 15.6 per cent. In the light of that adverse trend, I wonder whether the noble Baroness could say how the Government can guarantee jobs, work experience or training places, and where these jobs are going to come from.
