Milburn Review: Interim Report

Contribution

Youth unemployment in North West Norfolk has increased by 10% over the last year, and the Minister referred to paragraph 268 of the Milburn report on the jobs tax. It actually says that if policy aims to increase growth, “it has to help minimise risks and maximise incentives. It needs to avoid creating a labour market in which costs of entry have risen”. Will he listen to that and lift the costs on employers, so that they do not have to subsidise so many jobs?
