And just a couple of weeks ago, I announced a youth guarantee to help young people not in education, employment and training get back into work.
Like many countries around the world, particularly since the pandemic, we have experienced challenges in terms of youth unemployment and youth inactivity.
and we're determined to turn that around with particular programs targeted at those young people.
Well, the Office of Budget Responsibility, like other forecasters, use the past productivity performance to forecast the future.
And it is true that under the previous government over the last 14 years, both growth and productivity were underwhelming.
and the Office of Budget Responsibility will update their predictions for the future based on the past.
And it's my job as Chancellor to try and beat those expectations and that's why we're pursuing policies on trade, investment, on planning, on permitting, on regulation and capital market reform.
as well as through the trade deals that we're securing to make sure that our economy is well-suited to benefit from global investment, from business and wealth creation.
And that's what we'll continue to do.
Thank you.
You certainly ask interesting questions.
Well, no one needs to tell me how important child poverty is.
I came into the Labour Party because I wanted children from all backgrounds to have a good start in life.
We've already made strides in reducing child poverty in this Parliament.
We're rolling out free breakfast clubs at all primary schools, extending free school meals to an additional 500,000 children.
We've capped the cost of school uniform.
We've increased the national living wage and national minimum wage.
Would I like to do more?
Yes.
But, of course, we haven't always got to explain how policies will be paid for.
