Proceeding contribution from Sandra Osborne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Employment.
Employment
May I inform the Secretary of State that I was a marcher on the people's march for jobs in 1983, when more than 3 million people were unemployed and the Tories did absolutely nothing about it? They were the do-nothing party then, and they are the do-nothing party now. I welcome the Government's proactive stance, but people who are employed in a company with fewer than 20 people may become unemployed and have no real experience of the benefits system. How will the extra resources be used to make them familiar with, and less fearful of, the process?
