Proceeding contribution from Jenny Willott (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 February 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Youth Unemployment.
Youth Unemployment
No; I want to ensure that there is time for as many people as possible to speak. The future jobs fund is not cost-effective. It costs a lot, and that money could be better spent. In theory, it was aimed at those who were furthest from the jobs market, but it seems that a large number of those people in placements were graduates. For example, about 20% of the people taken on by Birmingham city council had at least one degree.
