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 would rather finish. When we are considering unemployment and how to support people back into work, it is clearly important for the Government to take into account the current economic climate and to make sure that, as was highlighted by the Secretary of State, they do not make the same mistakes as the previous Conservative Government and make the situation worse. They must not penalise those who are struggling to get work and are doing their best, but who are simply unable to find work because of the economic circumstances.
