Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Employment.


Employment

Does not the Secretary of State's announcement of a major increase in spending on the flexible new deal for the long-term unemployed show that he is predicting a major increase in long-term unemployment? Does he agree with the Social Market Foundation, which has said that in the course of this recession, long-term unemployment—of more than 12 months—is set to quadruple?
