This Tory-led Government risks leaving the next generation behind - Burnham
24 August 2011
Andy Burnham MP, Labour's Shadow Education Secretary, commenting on figures published today showing almost one million young people are out of work and not in education or training, said:
"These figures show that the Tory-led Government is being far too complacent about getting young people back to work or into training, and risks leaving the next generation behind. Putting young people on the dole is a waste of money and a waste of their potential. By scrapping Labour's guarantee of an apprenticeship place for young people who want one, scrapping the EMA and cutting careers services, this Government is making it harder for young people to get on - so that for the first time there is a risk that the next generation will do worse than the last."
