To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the current levels of youth unemployment. [66539]
Ms Hewitt
Youth claimant unemployment has fallen by over 100,000 since the general election, to stand at 315,000 last October. This fall has been spurred by the New Deal for young people unemployed for over six months, which has so far helped over 50,000 of them into jobs.
