Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.

Unemployment

I did indeed ask the Secretary of State a specific question about the flexible new deal. I did not say that it was in crisis; I said that there were problems with it. I recognise that there has been a need to go back to the contractors, but what I specifically asked him was whether he would guarantee that it would start in October. It is due to start on 1 October, and he has said that the Government are committed to an October start. Will he guarantee to the House that the flexible new deal will start in October?
