Nearly 14,000 young people could benefit from Labour's "job guarantee" if Scotland remains in the UK, according to Shadow Scottish Secretary Margaret Curran.

She will contrast the Labour jobs pledge with the one million jobs she says will be put at risk with independence during a visit to Tennent's Brewery and Training Academy in Glasgow today.

Some 3,615 young people across Scotland who have been out of work for a year or more will be offered jobs under Labour's scheme, including over 500 in Glasgow, she said.

Labour's scheme will also see nearly 14,000 jobs guaranteed for over-25s in Scotland who have been out of work for two years or more, she added.

Ms Curran said: "We want a strong Scotland backed up by a strong United Kingdom. Being part of the UK means that we can share our resources across the country.

"That is why Labour will tax bankers' bonuses to provide jobs for our young people across Scotland."

She added: "Neither the Tories nor the SNP are giving our young people the chances they need to succeed. 140,000 college places have been cut since 2007 - meaning fewer opportunities for young people across the country."

SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson said: "The No campaign's claims on jobs ring hollow because they have failed to name a single job-creating power that would be guaranteed in the event of a No vote - in contrast, a Yes vote will deliver all the economic powers we need to create more jobs and opportunities and to make the most of Scotland's huge wealth."
