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


Employment

I welcome my right hon. Friend's statement. Will he ensure that the rapid response service goes for early intervention on skills training, so that if there is even a hint of redundancy in even the smallest firm, people start thinking about skills training as opposed to just looking at adverts for another job, so that this time a redundancy notice for any person may be seen as a chance to upgrade their skills—unlike what happened last time under the Tories, when people were left stood in dole queues and at home without hope?
