Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

As I have just said, and as the right hon. Gentleman knows, record numbers of people are in employment in the UK and unemployment is falling. The claimant count fell again in the most recent figures. Of course, there has been a shift from manufacturing to services—as there has been across the developed economies—but there has been positive news from the manufacturing sector in recent months, which I am sure the right hon. Gentleman and the whole House will welcome.
