HC Deb 27 October 1983 vol 47 c183W
46. Dr. M. S. Miller

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects that his economic policies will reduce unemployment of young people.

Mr. Hayhoe

It is not the practice to publish unemployment forecasts. We are pursuing policies which provide the best prospect of sustainable growth in the employment of all sections of the work force, but much depends on continued moderation on pay bargaining. We fully recognise the particular hardships of youth unemployment and have targeted specific measures, notably the youth training scheme and young workers scheme, to improving the employment opportunities of young people.
