Q2 Melanie Onn Lab Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes
Employment Climate Energy
Context

The MP is concerned about the long-term employment prospects for young people and seeks permanent job opportunities in new clean energy sectors. She also wants to know what actions are being taken to expand existing businesses and attract new investment.

Question

News of apprenticeship incentives, the youth jobs grant and the jobs guarantee will provide a welcome boost for my brilliant young people in Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes, but they and other jobseekers will want to know what permanent jobs they can move into. We have huge opportunities and experience in new clean energy and the supply chain. What action is the Secretary of State taking to expand existing businesses and attract new investment in this sector to deliver jobs for my hard-working constituents?

Answer from Peter Kyle

My hon. Friend is right that her constituents are hard-working and they deserve to have a Government on their side: in this Government, they have that. We have invested £140 million in a pilot with the mayoral strategic authorities that will benefit her area. That will connect 16 to 24-year-olds who are not in education, employment or training to local apprenticeship opportunities in her area. We are also investing £2.5 billion in the youth guarantee and the growth and skills levy over the next three years.

Partly answered
