Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when he plans to publish the findings of Sir Jeremy Heywood's inquiry on youth unemployment.
Answered by Lord Maude of Horsham
The Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister commissioned work last summer to look at provision for 16-24 year olds to see if more could be done to help young people into work. This has informed internal policy advice that has been provided to Ministers on an ongoing basis. A number of initial findings led to announcements by the Chancellor in the Autumn Statement, and by the Deputy Prime Minister in February 2014. Further findings will be announced over time.

Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment his Department has made of the quality and consistency of youth services outsourced by local authorities.
Answered by Nick Hurd
Local Authorities have a statutory duty to provide services to improve young people's well-being. As was the case under previous administrations it is at the discretion of local authorities to decide how to deliver these services and whether the particular services they fund are delivered directly or through third parties. Government does not require local authorities to report this information.
We know that many local authorities are embracing new, innovative ways of delivering high-quality services that respond to local need and remain focussed on the well-being of young people.
