Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Liz Kendall and Ashley Fox

Monday 16th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Sir Ashley Fox (Bridgwater) (Con)]

Can the Secretary of State confirm whether she will maintain strong sanctions against those who are capable of working but choose not to?

[Liz Kendall]

If you can work, you must work, and if you repeatedly refuse to, sanctions will remain, but I know from young people in my constituency that they are desperate to get the skills and opportunities that they need. Unlike the Conservative party, that is what our youth guarantee will deliver.
