Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

I will meet north Staffordshire MPs again—as my hon. Friend knows, I have met them before—to talk about the very issues of the future; not only manufacturing, but jobs in the area. As she knows, we have tried to get resources into both her constituency and the rest of the area, so that we can create new job opportunities. That is our aim. The way to respond to globalisation is to give people the skills and opportunities for the future, and that is what the statement is about.
