Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 February 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Youth Unemployment.
Youth Unemployment
The facts speak for themselves. Between 1997 and the start of the financial crisis the number of young people on the claimant count fell by 40%. Because of the changes we put in place, the number of young people coming off JSA within six months was about three quarters of the number going on. That is why Lord Freud—the Government's own welfare reform Minister—was right to say that the progress we have made was ““remarkable””.
