Baroness Sherlock (Lab)
We have to have a level playing field in employment rights. We are investing in supporting young people with a youth guarantee. For young people who are intensively looking for work, there should be no fourth alternative to education, training or a job. To put our money where our mouth is, we have announced that we will give young people who have spent 18 months looking for a job on universal credit a guaranteed job. Young people should be out there either earning or learning; we will make sure they can.
Lord Baker of Dorking (Con)
Does the Minister appreciate that her Chief Whip opened by asking for shorter answers?
