Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (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

Again, the Budget may provide an appropriate forum for such a debate, but my hon. Friend reminds the House that private sector employment is up 580,000 since the election, and that the overall number of people claiming out-of-work benefits has fallen by 30,000. I hope we can maintain that impetus, and that my hon. Friend will take part in the Budget debate, when he can make the point at greater length.
