Proceeding contribution from Chris Ruane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 February 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Youth Unemployment.


Youth Unemployment

The Minister does not know. From my perspective as a constituency MP, and from that of young people affected in my constituency, the decision to end the future jobs fund is nothing short of political spite. The Work and Pensions Committee report said that the DWP"““should conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of the Future Jobs Fund and publish the results.””" This obviously should have been done before the closure of the FJF. That is common sense, but it was not done.
