Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

Youth unemployment, in my view, is too high, but the hon. Gentleman will recognise that something like 200,000 to 250,000 of the numbers in the current count provided by the International Labour Organisation include those in full-time education who may be looking for part-time work. The hon. Gentleman is wrong to bandy around figures in headline terms in a debate such as this without setting out some of the detail.
