Business question from Andrew Bridgen (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have an urgent debate on trends in employment, as it is clear from the latest figures that the overall situation is far more complex than the headlines might suggest? In my constituency of North West Leicestershire, there are currently 1,513 claimants, who make up 3.3% of the economically active population. There has been a welcome fall of 10% in that figure over the last year. It would be helpful if the debate compared the overall fall in unemployment in the quarter to March this year with the number of people on jobseeker's allowance.
