Grayling hits out at 'job-snobs'
Chris Grayling has come out in defence of the Government’s work experience programme, saying the criticism of it is “absurd” and the work of “job-snobs”.
Speaking on Murnaghan this morning, the Employment Minister said: "I think that the accusations about this scheme are absurd, and those that are particularly targeting the supermarkets, who have been very helpful to us in supporting this scheme, are frankly job-snobs about the nature of the work those supermarkets are doing.”
Mr Grayling also called on employers to favour young British workers over people coming from overseas. He said the current situation is “not one that we should tolerate”.
He also played down the importance the impact of a police investigation into a back-to-work company run by the Government's 'back to work tsar' Emma Harrison. Mr Grayling emphasised that the allegations around A4e dated back two years to a scheme run by the last government.
The Mail on Sunday reports that the police are investigating claims that A4e took government funding for putting people into jobs for just one day.
