Harriett Baldwin highlights the new youth contract which offers incentives to companies that take on unemployed 18 to 24-year-olds. Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con): Will the Minister explain to employers—in Bolsover and elsewhere—that as of this month there is a youth contract that will pay them to take on unemployed young people? Mr Hoban: My hon. Friend is absolutely right. Some 160,000 wage incentives, worth up to £2,775 each, are available for employers who recruit an 18 to 24-year-old through the Work programme. | Hansard
