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

It is curious that the Minister's colleague Lord Freud noted in his report:"““The New Deals have been enormously successful””." He also said:"““The creation of Jobcentre Plus…is…seen as…a model for effective public service delivery.””" He further commented:"““The Government has made strong, and in some respects remarkable, progress over the last ten years.””" I hope that those are lessons on which the Minister can draw. There has been some dispute about the numbers that the BBC published. Will the Minister now set out for the House his assumptions for this year, next year and the year after about how many people will flow through the Work programme? If he is disputing the figures, let us hear it from him—what are they?
