Proceeding contribution from Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 December 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on West Midlands and Coventry.


West Midlands and Coventry

I am sure that there is deep concern on both sides of the House about youth unemployment. Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the coalition Government are seeking to extend opportunities for young people in particular through enhanced apprenticeships and the Work programme to ensure that we do not lose a generation of young people? All employers are being galvanised to take youngsters on and to give them experience, so that when the upturn comes, they will be able to utilise the skills that they have developed.
