Proceeding contribution from Stephen Williams (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

Before the hon. Lady intervened, I repeated that I was talking specifically about 16 and 17-year-olds. The Library's youth unemployment statistics show that from 1992 to the current year the rate of youth unemployment has remained stubbornly at about 200,000, whatever the underlying economic conditions. For 16 to 24-year-olds, the broader group, the unemployment figure did not fall below 600,000, even at the height of the boom.
