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 number of young people not in education, employment or training was lower, not higher, when Labour left office than when we came to office. Far too often, Conservative Members pray in aid that number—a number that is pretty static—but fail to acknowledge that the number of young people in our country increased by 1 million between 2000 and 2009.
