Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Women, Justice and Gender Equality.
Women, Justice and Gender Equality
Does the hon. Lady agree that the contribution that Mrs. Thatcher made to women entering the work force in my constituency of Wakefield was the shutting-down of every coal mine in the district, which caused male unemployment of 25 per cent? In the city where I grew up, Coventry, there was a similar unemployment rate, caused by the closure of the car factories. Because of the unemployment of men in their household, women were forced into low-paid work to support their families, as my mother was.
