Proceeding contribution from Bill Rammell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on World Class Skills 2020.
World Class Skills 2020
I welcome the clarification that the hon. Gentleman has given in response to the point made by the hon. Member for Cities of London and Westminster (Mr. Field), because we are in potentially dangerous territory. I ask the hon. Member for South Holland and The Deepings (Mr. Hayes) to confirm that a substantial element of the migration has been in response to the fact that unemployment is at historically low levels in this country. There are 500,000 jobs that we cannot fill from our own citizens—not exclusively from our own citizens—because unemployment is so low, which is a good thing.
