House of Lords written question – answered at on 24 September 2012.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what engagement they have had with Local Enterprise Partnership leaders in the development and promotion of the Youth Contract.
The department carried out an extensive consultation with a significant number of employers about the design and delivery of the new wage incentive. This included engagement with large and smaller employers, employer representative bodies and Work Programme providers. While we did not specifically consult with Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) in this instance, the department is keen to work with LEPs to ensure that skills and tackling worklessness are priorities, to support more effective approaches to help people to improve their chances of finding work, making the link between growth, unemployment and social exclusion.
