HC Deb 17 May 1995 vol 260 c269W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what special measures he will adopt to give employment to young people. [24196]

Mr. Redwood

Our policies aim to create the right economic conditions for success; low inflation, sound public finances; markets that work properly; and a minimal regulatory and tax burden on business. That recipe is promoting sustained economic growth and higher living standards, from which all age groups will benefit.

Good education and training and sound careers advice are fundamental to a young person's employment prospects. My plan to raise achievement, strengthen standards and widen choice and opportunity is set out in "People and Prosperity: an Agenda for Action", which was published on 20 March 1995.
