Rishi Sunak's flagship Covid back-to-work scheme will support 82,000 fewer young Brits than hoped.
A scathing report by MPs today said “early delivery was chaotic” as the Kickstart programme launched “very quickly but at the expense of clear guidance and basic management information”.
The scheme - launched with fanfare by the Chancellor and run by the Department for Work and Pensions - aimed to help 250,000 people into work placements.
