Proceeding contribution from Pat McFadden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Youth Unemployment.
Youth Unemployment
I warmly welcome the Chancellor’s support for this package and the help that she has given me in putting it together. The right hon. Lady mentioned vacancies—there are about 700,000 vacancies in the economy, including 50,000 in manufacturing. I attended a jobs fair in Blackpool a couple of weeks ago, where almost 1,000 jobs were allocated on the day. There are vacancies in the economy, but we have to help young people to be in a position to be trained and have the confidence, skills and support they need to take them up.
