Angela Constance, who has moved from the post of children’s minister, will host a special session of Scotland’s National Economic Forum next month, to bring together leaders from business, local authorities, the third and public sectors in the interests of young people.

An initial set of decisions will be announced before the Scottish Parliament breaks for Christmas.
Constance said: "The Scottish Government has developed a range of good initiatives, such as the record 25,000 modern apprenticeships a year, and Opportunities for All to guarantee a training or learning place for all 16-to 19-year-olds, but more needs to be done and more will be done.
