(asked on 9th February 2017) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many people under the age of 24 in each year from 2010 have been employed on a zero-hours contract in Hemsworth constituency.
This question was answered on 24th February 2017
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.
Zero hours contracts only account for 2.9% of all people in work. For many people they offer the right kind of flexibility, with independent research showing that nearly two-thirds of people on such contracts are satisfied with their job.
