Stephen asked about the government's newly launched ‘Kickstart’ employment scheme for young people in an Urgent Question in the Commons Chamber on Thursday 3rd September.
He asked about the role for charities in the scheme, how disabled young people will be helped to access the scheme, and about data collection to ensure robust evaluation.
Stephen said: 'Tory scrapping of the Future Jobs Fund in 2011 was a terrible blow to young people. In 2012, they published an evaluation proving it did a great job. I'm pleased its coming back (with a different name). This Government needs to make the most of it, as the Labour Government did.'
