Proceeding contribution from Ian Davidson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 October 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment in the UK.


Unemployment in the UK

I want to make a point about conditionality. Does my right hon. Friend agree that simply asking people to turn up and participate in training is not sufficient and that, in some circumstances, we need something like the old community programme? People should be given the opportunity to go into meaningful work to get them into the habit of attendance. Something like that would be immensely constructive, especially at a time of declining economic circumstances. Will he introduce it tomorrow?
