Mr Andrew Snowden

Conservative — Fylde

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 April 2026

Debate

Unemployment

Contribution

Fylde’s stunning coastline and countryside mean that the hospitality, tourism and leisure industry is at the heart of our local economy. But I have met many businesses that, following the changes to national insurance, have let go so many young people from that industry and are simply not taking on new seasonal staff. Could the Secretary of State update the House on the current trends of unemployment among 18 to 24-year-olds?
