Proceeding contribution from John Penrose (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Work and Skills.
Work and Skills
The Minister mentioned the dynamism of the labour market. Does he accept that part of the problem with the current unemployment figures is the churn caused by people getting a short-term job, then losing it and going back into unemployment? Some of that is negative, rather than evidence of dynamism in the job market. It is important for the Government to ensure that jobs are sustainable, and they may need sustaining through Government help in the crucial first weeks and months.
