Business question from Lord Evans of Rainow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2012. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Like Sir Stuart Rose, I started my working career stacking shelves in my local Co-op in Poynton, which gave me a great work ethic. I fully agree with the former chairman of Marks & Spencer that it is baffling that anyone would oppose unemployed young people being given the opportunity to gain good-quality work experience. May we have a debate on workfare so that we can take on the misguided opponents of that vital scheme?
