MP's plea for jobs project

CITY MP Mark Lazarowicz has called on the UK Government not to scrap the Future Jobs Fund.

He said the scheme, set up by Labour when it was in power, had created more than 15,400 jobs for young people in Scotland, but now faced being axed by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition.

He said: "The Future Jobs Fund has been a real success and the Government should not just turn its back on young people out of work."
