Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (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
Does the hon. Lady agree that it is also a little rich for Conservative Front Benchers to criticise the Government for allegedly fiddling the unemployment figures, when, according to my recollection, the previous Conservative Government changed the measure 18 times? This Government have changed it once to bring it into line with international standards and, after that one change, kept it in line with international standards.
