Government Employment Strategy

I agree absolutely with the hon. Lady, my Select Committee colleague, on the fundamentally important points that she is making. Does she agree that we would like to hear from the Minister the Government’s thinking on our recommendation that the sustainable employment measure should be 26 weeks, which I know they are currently considering? I also ask the hon. Lady, and thereby the Minister, whether we can examine not only ways to measure people going into employment in the first place but a more meaningful measure including such matters as the level of pay at which they start a job, their job sustainability, the length of time they are in it and their job prospects. That would meaningfully get people into the culture of work as well as into work itself.
