Employment: Elite Professions

Baroness Eaton Excerpts

Thursday 18th June 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Neville-Rolfe]

My Lords, there has been a lot of hot air over this report, but what really matters for social mobility is education, getting people into work and working with employers, which we have been doing through the social mobility business compact. It has been focusing on work in schools to raise aspiration, providing fair work experience and inclusive recruitment practices, which picks up what the noble Lord said.

[Baroness Eaton (Con)]

Would my noble friend agree with me that the best way of improving social mobility is the creation of jobs? Could she perhaps tell the House how the Government are performing on their target of 1,000 jobs per day?

[Noble Lords]

Oh.
