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


Employment

I welcome the additional 6,000 staff in the jobcentres. Was that figure calculated on the basis of a ratio between staff and the numbers of unemployed? If so, will there be an automatic increase in staff beyond that 6,000 if the numbers of unemployed go up beyond the Government's current expectations?
