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

I am grateful to the Minister for his kind invitation. Will he accept that between 1997 and the beginning of the global financial crisis, the claimant count for youth unemployment fell by 14%? To return to my previous question, why did Lord Freud, the Minister responsible for welfare reform and his colleague in the Department, describe our progress as ““remarkable””? Was he deluded?
