Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 October 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment in the UK.
Unemployment in the UK
My hon. Friend rightly said that people are concerned for their jobs, and nowhere is that more the case than in west Yorkshire. It faces the combined effects of what has happened to HBOS and Bradford & Bingley, which are based in my constituency. Does he agree that although the Government have been keen to safeguard Northern Rock jobs in Newcastle and jobs in Scotland—through the deal that they cobbled together with Lloyds TSB and HBOS—it is just as important to safeguard jobs in west Yorkshire? Does he also agree that everything should be done to try to help that local economy, which will be devastated by the combined effects of what is taking place?
