Proceeding contribution from Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat) 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 am sure that my hon. Friend is aware that there is a part of my constituency where three quarters of people are on one form of benefits or another; I know that the Secretary of State is aware of that, because he visited my constituency earlier this year. Does my hon. Friend agree that that illustrates the fact that the Government have patently failed to do anything to get those people back to work?
