Children and Families Bill

Proceeding contribution from Tom Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 June 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Children and Families Bill.

I agree with my hon. Friend about the social, educational and employment needs of young people. On her point about the economy, I wonder whether she is aware that she is supported by the National Audit Office, which has said:

“Supporting one person with a learning disability into employment could, in addition to improving their independence and self-esteem, reduce lifetime costs to the public purse by around £170,000”.

She is therefore speaking very logically.
