MSP QUERIES UK GOVERNMENT'S YOUTH EMPLOYMENT ANNOUNCEMENT



MSP QUERIES UK GOVERNMENT'S YOUTH EMPLOYMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
Commenting on today's UK government announcement about funding for youth employment SNP MSP Bob Doris, a member of the Scottish Parliament's Local Government and Communities Committee said:

"Whilst any additional funding to create new jobs in Scotland is welcome the numbers being created in comparison to those being announced south of the border raises questions.

"2,838 posts in Scotland compared to 47,000 UK-wide does not look like Scotland is getting its share by any means. Perhaps Jim Murphy can explain this apparent discrepancy."
