Nick Clegg announces review of employment and training for young

BBC News reports that Nick Clegg has announced a review of employment and training options for 16 to 24-year-olds at the CBI annual dinner this evening:

In his speech, Mr Clegg told business leaders that school-leavers were faced with a confusing array of schemes designed to support them, with too many getting lost in lost in "a maze of different programmes". 

Companies considering employing young people also had to navigate a complex web of government initiatives. 

The review will look at how to simplify the system, although the government has already ruled out creating a single ministry dedicated to young people.

Later. Les Bonner has the full speech.
