Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Torsten Bell)
We all know the importance of work, and since the election we have seen employment rise by 500,000, but Britain is a country that has too few young adults in work or education, and where the post-pandemic employment recovery has taken too long. That is why we will continue our reforms to support more people into work.
