Young People in Scotland: Employment Opportunities
- Question
-
My Lords, the Interministerial Group for Business and Industry last met on 3 February by videophone. The communique lays out the four items that were discussed, which did not include this very important area. Will the Minister, whom I welcome to his position, tell us when the interministerial group will meet again and whether he will undertake to make sure that this issue is on the list of items to be discussed when it does?
- Answer
-
I thank the noble Earl for his question. We were due to meet last week, but, sadly, Ministers in the devolved Administrations had to rearrange. I look forward to meeting very soon, and I will ensure that youth unemployment is high up the agenda.
