A leaked document has suggested that children’s youth and education services in London will be hit by a 90 per cent funding cut.

Funding could be slashed by millions of pounds for programmes run by City Hall over the next 24 months, according to Labour.

The move, suggested in a report to the Mayor’s office ahead of the budget, has been condemned as ‘disgraceful’ by Labour London Assembly Member for Waltham Forest, Jennette Arnold OBE.

The document, which was written on November 4 was leaked last week, leading to a heated Mayor’s Question Time.

Labour members were told to ‘stick it’ (the document) by Mr Johnson.

Mr Johnson said: “We have done more for young people in this city than your party ever did and we will continue to expand support for young people.

“I am proud of our record and I am proud of what they Mayor’s Fund for London has done.

“You should take that paper and stick it up your..”

According to the document, cuts will hit projects supporting young people to stay on at school, develop workplace skills and increase the number of apprenticeships.

The cuts would "disproportionately hit the most vulnerable groups of young people", accordingn tio the findings.

The report showed that, if the proposals were agreed, funding for youth and education projects would drop from £22.6m in 2014/15 to just £2.3m by 2016/171.

Certain projects such as those to support apprenticeships and get into work would be axed entirely.

Jennette Arnold: "The fact that Boris Johnson would even consider cuts of 90 per cent to schemes designed to help some of Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest’s most vulnerable young people tells you everything you need to know about his cavalier and uncaring approach to governing.

"Projects to increase apprenticeships and support for people to stay on at school may seem like optional extras to Boris Johnson but for many young people they make a world of difference.”

City Hall said it had spent £50m on youth funding during Mr Johnson's current term.
