Proceeding contribution from Gerald Kaufman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Employment.

Employment

As the Member of Parliament whose constituency under the Conservatives was No. 1 in Great Britain for long-term unemployment and No. 1 in England for youth unemployment, may I thank this Government for the new deal, which the Conservatives opposed and the funding of which the Liberal Democrats opposed? Employment in my constituency has been transformed by the new deal and the local employment partnership, which has just provided 130 jobs at the new Tesco in Gorton. The direct training centre is training men and women to be builders for the new increase in building that will result from the Government's policies announced this week.
