Employment: Young People
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking in response to the findings of the report entitled Young people and work: interim report, published on 28 May 2026.
- Answer
-
I commissioned Alan Millburn’s review precisely because this is one of the key issues we inherited. And I am determined, my department will play its role in addressing this.
We are doing this through investing £2.5 billion through the Youth Guarantee, Expanding the number Youth in Great Britain, introducing Right to Try, rebalancing Universal Credit to improve incentives to work, and investing in personalised employment support.
