Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 March 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

In that White Paper, the Government set themselves a specific target in terms of skills. The Select Committee recommended that the Government should also set a target for a reduction in youth unemployment. If one can have a target for education and skills, why not a target for a reduction in youth unemployment? I hope the Minister will be able to respond positively to the suggestions in the Select Committee report.
