Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Timms and Lillian Jones

Monday 8th December 2025 Commons Chamber

[Sir Stephen Timms]

I would be happy to look into the details. I was not aware of that whistleblowing report, but I would be happy to look at it.

[Lillian Jones (Kilmarnock and Loudoun) (Lab)]

The youth guarantee scheme represents a clear statement of intent from this Labour Government. Unlike the Conservatives, we will not abandon our young people to a lifetime on benefits, or allow the mental health toll of long-term unemployment to define their futures. Will my right hon. Friend outline how this policy will deliver for those young people by providing skills, confidence and meaningful work, and deliver for the wider economy by turning potential into productivity and reducing the cost of economic inactivity?
