Proceeding contribution from Jenny Willott (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 agree with the hon. Gentleman that we need to encourage people to put more effort into the process. The issue that I was raising was the Conservative party's three-strikes-and-out policy for those who do not accept a ““reasonable”” job. Who is to decide what a reasonable job is for a particular individual? That takes us into very murky waters.
