APPRENTICES ON THE OLYMPIC SITE

Early day motion 463, tabled 12 July 2010 by Diane Abbott (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House recognises that opportunities to train local youngsters on the Olympic site are not being fully utilised; notes that just four apprentices on the Olympic site hail from Hackney; further notes that all five Olympic boroughs have high levels of unemployment, particularly among young people; believes that further prioritisation by officials is needed in order to leave a true legacy for host boroughs; and calls on the Government to set targets to encourage recruitment of unemployed youngsters locally between now and 2012.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 1, DUP 1.
