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

Unemployment

I did not accuse the right hon. Lady of having that policy, but I am happy to make that accusation, given that it actually is. She is obviously a bit too sensitive about it. We have to recognise that it is going to be harder for people to find work in the next couple of years. That is precisely why we should redouble our efforts, and not postpone welfare reform. I know that she agrees with that point.
