Proceeding contribution from Lord Murphy of Torfaen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Welsh Affairs.
Welsh Affairs
The hon. Member for Monmouth (David T.C. Davies) raised the same issue yesterday, and I mentioned then that the various initiatives that have been taken, such as the pathfinder initiative, help. However, I do not for one second underestimate the issue that we have to address. The Department for Work and Pensions has a role to play, and the National Assembly takes the issue very seriously. I do not underestimate the problem, but neither would I exaggerate it. The situation has to be considered in light of the enormous rise in the number of people working in Wales in the past 10 years.
