The Government will have a “duty” to provide opportunities and young people will have an “obligation” to take them up, Alan Milburn has told the BBC.

Asked whether young people will have a right to sue if there are no opportunities available for them, the author of a major review of youth unemployment said: “We’re going to avoid that elephant trap, believe me.

“But we are going to have a duty on Government to provide opportunities.

“We’re calling it the opportunity guarantee, so there should be a guarantee for a young person because at the moment the only guarantee they’ve got is to a very simple thing, to get a benefit.”

He added: “My view is very straightforward on this, most young people want to work.

“If you’re giving them more opportunities, if you’re giving them more support, which we should, then their obligation is to take up those opportunities.

“And if they don’t, what isn’t tolerable either for them or for the taxpayer is that they should be living a life on benefit, that’s got to change.”

Injecting money into creating more support for young people not in education, employment or training (Neets) will cost billions of pounds over the course of the next ten years.
