Milburn predicts review will propose major welfare changes for under-25s

What was said

"We will be bringing a fundamental change and reform of the welfare system for the under 25s to the government just as we'll be doing that in the education system, the skills system, the health system, and in labor market policy."

Alan Milburn says his team will submit proposals to government for what he calls fundamental welfare reform for under-25s, alongside recommendations on education, skills, health and labour-market policy. He argues the aim is to improve young people’s life chances, even if benefit spending falls over time.
