Energy (oil and gas) profits levy

"I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for that intervention, and I will go on to say something about that, but I agree with the point he is making.

Energy (oil and gas) profits levy

"I agree with the hon. Gentleman’s point. A number of trends since the pandemic should be causes of concern: the drop in the number of older workers; the increase in younger people with mental health issues who are being signed off on long-term sick; and the trend in disabled workers …..."

Written Question
Employment Schemes
Tuesday 28th June 2022

Asked by: Stephen Crabb (Conservative - Preseli Pembrokeshire)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Plan for Jobs in supporting people into work.

Answered by Simon Clarke

The success of our Plan for Jobs is playing a key role in spreading opportunity across the country.

The Government protected 11.7 million jobs through the pandemic, as well as moving millions of job seekers into work and supporting young people through programmes like kickstart and our apprenticeships offer.

It’s clear our plan is working. 2 million fewer people are out of work than originally feared, and the unemployment rate remains close to a near 50 year low.

We will continue to build on this success with our Way to Work campaign, which aims to support 500,000 jobseekers into work by the end of June.
