Streatham's young people will be hard hit by severe cuts to funding to tackle youth unemployment, the area's MP has warned.
Chuka Umunna, attacked the coalition Government in parliament on Friday over its announcement it would be axeing the Future Jobs Fund programme, event though data for how effectiveness of the scheme is not yet available.
He demanded a full debate on whether it should be saved.
The fund, an investment programme launched by the previous Government to tackle unemployment among young people, provided funding to create 110,000 new jobs nationwide for 18 to 24 year olds unemployed for six months or more.
Support for the long-term young unemployed is now in doubt, as part of as part of £6 billion of spending cuts announced this week.
