Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 3) Bill.


Finance (No. 3) Bill

I am glad the hon. Gentleman has given way, because I cannot believe he has the nerve to say what he has just said. One of the first actions of the incoming Government was to scrap the successful future jobs fund, which was bringing down youth unemployment. If he reads Professor Wolf's report, he will see that her worry is about what is happening to 16 to 18-year-olds. We are in danger of repeating the mistakes of the '80s when youth unemployment peaked four years after the middle of the recession.
