Read the original article on lbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)LBC reports Alan Milburn's call for a legal 'opportunity guarantee' of work or training for young people ahead of his review, and his warning that those who do not take up the offer could lose their benefits. It also reports his expected call to stop under-25s claiming the health element of universal credit or Pip. LBC gives Andy Burnham's refusal to commit to the report in full and Lord Blunkett's comments in their own words, and the headline attributes the proposal to Milburn.
“says Alan Milburn ahead of NEETs report”
The headline keeps the attribution, so Milburn's proposal reads as his call and not as LBC's own assertion.
“Mr Milburn added those who do not take up the initiatives could lose their benefits”
LBC reports the sanction side of the plan in the body rather than presenting the guarantee alone. This matches what the BBC and the Daily Mail reported.
“Mr Burnham declined to provide that “blanket assurance””
LBC states plainly that the Prime Minister would not commit to the report in full, and then gives his own words at length so readers can judge.
