Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 June 2026

Debate

Business Hiring

Contribution

I do not know that my commenting on forecasts will necessarily add to the discussion. I am happy to talk about the actions we are taking to support the economy and young people especially to increase activity and get the experience they need to secure good jobs today and for the future. That is why we set out our modern industrial strategy and why we are supporting young people getting into training and apprenticeships. We have reformed the apprenticeship levy into a growth and skills levy to make it more attuned to the needs of business so that those young people can get jobs today.
