Lib Dems tell Government to stop “flip-flopping” and introduce EU Youth Mobility Scheme without delay

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the Government’s comments that they may finally be implementing a Youth Mobility Scheme with the EU, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Europe James MacCleary has said:

"Labour now needs to stop flip-flopping and introduce an EU Youth Mobility Scheme without delay. Our young people won't forgive them if they don't.

"For months now, the Government has totally dismissed the idea of extending a scheme we already have in place with countries like Australia and Japan to our European allies.

"Securing a youth mobility scheme with the EU would be a common sense win-win - creating new opportunities for our young people and delivering a much-needed boost to our economy.”
