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

If meetings are necessary on this issue, I am sure that they can take place. At the same time, I hope that the hon. Gentleman understands that there are now 200,000 more jobs in Scotland as a result of the Labour Government. Whatever changes are taking place, some of which are because of the environment, we are determined to replace jobs that are lost and we will continue to do so. That is why the Scottish Administration have adopted a new policy, with a new agency, to move towards full employment. Given that his party forms part of that Administration, I hope that he will support the policy.
