00:00Well, we've got roughly a million young people not in education, employment or training in the
00:05country. The figure has been at that level for some years. It was a particular growth after
00:10COVID. And I think we do need to respond to this in a big way. And that's why we've put
00:15in place
00:16our youth guarantee, a two and a half billion pound investment into work experience, job
00:23subsidies, hiring incentives for employers. It's all designed to give young people a chance
00:29give them a future. I saw the evidence of this yesterday. I visited Boots in Nottingham where
00:35they're taking on the first people on the jobs guarantee. That's a programme where we will
00:41actually pay the wages for six months for long term young unemployed people. And the difference
00:46it's already making to people on that scheme who've got a sense of pride, belief and hope
00:53for the future that they simply didn't have when they were on the dole. It's a remarkable
00:57difference. And I want to see more of that for young people.
