Proceeding contribution from Catherine McKinnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Youth Unemployment.


Youth Unemployment

I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. As co-chair of the all-party parliamentary group for youth employment, I welcome the Secretary of State’s statement on these new measures. Members will know that Newcastle is home to the country’s best retail and hospitality offer, and I know many businesses will welcome the support for employing young people. Will the Secretary of State set out how his Department is working to ensure the balance between fairness in the administrative processes do not create any burden for small and medium-sized businesses to access the support?
