Proceeding contribution from James Purnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.


Unemployment

We have been working with Woolworths ever since it went into liquidation. [Interruption.] We have provided help for people in job searches, and we have provided jobs fairs and a wide range of help. Indeed, a large number of people who worked in Woolworths have found work through Jobcentre Plus. Clearly the situation is very worrying for anybody who has not yet found work, and it is our responsibility to continue to help them.
