Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 October 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Work and Skills.


Work and Skills

My hon. Friend now has a hat trick of interventions. Does my hon. Friend agree that half the vacancies nationally are hard to fill or due to skills shortage? That is a worse problem in an area such as the east or the south-east than in some of the areas that the hon. Member for Luton, North (Kelvin Hopkins) mentioned. It is not true that skills shortages are worse in the most deprived areas.
