Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.

Unemployment

Let me say as diplomatically as I can to the hon. Gentleman that since the future jobs fund closed long-term youth unemployment in his constituency has gone up by 43%. He must accept that the future jobs fund was helping to keep young people in work. We know, as Ministers accept, that keeping young people close to the labour market, close to jobs and close to the habits of work is a good thing.
