The plan was being endorsed by both a Labour and a Tory MP as well as leading figures in social services and the Church. They all considered that it would be better to take everybody under the age of 18 out of the labour market and into a form of community service. The work involved would include helping old people, cleaning up council estates, helping the mentally handicapped, assisting staff in schools, museums and art galleries and national parks, and increasing council services which were being hit by the cuts under the new Thatcher Conservative government.
