Lord Palmer of Childs Hill (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 December 2025

Debate

Young People not in Work, Education or Training

Contribution

My Lords, I welcome the Minister’s comments, but this is very much a top-down approach to getting young people back into work. Can she give further assurance on how the Government will encourage tradespeople—the plumbers, electricians, brickies and others—to take on people as apprentices and trainees? This starts at the bottom. This does not start with all the courses that young people can do part-time; they have to be employed by a plumber, a builder or an electrician. What are the Government doing about it?
