Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2026

Debate

Youth Unemployment

Contribution

I accept that youth unemployment is higher now than when we took office. I regret that and it is great to see that the Government are doing more on it. The point I was making was that when we took office, youth unemployment was rising and it was rising fast. It has continued to rise, but it was rising then. That is my point.
