The Government is very strongly committed to a jobs and growth strategy. We are also fully committed to bringing forward as a matter of priority a jobs fund to put this strategy into effect. While a specific date for the publication of such a jobs fund has yet to be finalised, the Government is committed to its introduction in the early stages of its term. I can assure the House that this issue is a key priority for this Government and work is advancing on bringing the necessary policy measures forward.
