We’re building a fair welfare system and an economy that works for everyone.
We've started on this road, we've got over 100 youth [hubs] at the moment, but I am convinced that we need to turbocharge this with the roll out of many more Dutch style youth hubs in the UK.
Today’s changes are driven by the fairness that underpins this Government – fairness for the taxpayer, fairness for disabled people and fairness for the country.
