Proceeding contribution from Julia Goldsworthy (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.
Unemployment
Many constituents have come to see me not because they have lost their jobs but because their hours have been reduced—a lead indicator that businesses are in trouble and people are at risk of losing their jobs. Should not the Government pay more attention to supporting those businesses to ensure that redundancies are a last resort, and can be avoided when possible?
