Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Youth Guarantee on economic growth.

The Chancellor recently announced that we will offer guaranteed paid work to eligible young people who are unemployed on Universal Credit for over 18 months.

This is because we must turn around one of the worst legacies of the last government: almost a million young people not in education, employment or training.

This forms a key part of the Government’s Youth Guarantee, and further details will be announced at the Budget.
