Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 January 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Youth Unemployment and Bank Bonuses.
Youth Unemployment and Bank Bonuses
I have visited companies around the country, in Scotland and England, that have created a significant number of new jobs and new apprenticeships, providing a significant increase in skills. That is the right way to go about it, and that is what we are trying to do with the increase in apprenticeships. I hope that the hon. Lady will welcome that. It is fair to say that the apprenticeships programme and the youth contract complement our Work programme, which is the biggest payment-by-results employment programme that this country has ever seen. The Work programme will provide personalised support to around 2.4 million people over the next five years, helping those most at risk of long-term unemployment.
