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 hon. Gentleman forgets to mention that the flexible new deal was introduced in the middle of the recession when unemployment was high, so that is possibly not the best way to evaluate the success of getting people back into work. I am sure we will learn later precisely which elements of the new deal the current Government are continuing with in their Work programme.
