Lord Livingston of Parkhead (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 1 June 2026

Debate

Business Hiring

Contribution

My Lords, I talk to a number of businesses and work in very major businesses, and I see the issues that they are having about employing young people just now. When will the Government accept that, in addition to technology changes, the raft of legislation that makes it more expensive, more difficult and more risky to recruit young people is an issue? At what point will the Government look back and say, “We want growth, we want to employ young people and we want to give them a chance, so we will have another look at our legislation because we got it wrong”?
