Proceeding contribution from James Purnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.
Unemployment
That is precisely the point that I was making. A few years ago, people with those qualifications would have found work very quickly. Now, we need to increase the help for them, because it will be harder for people in those groups to find work due to the state of the economy.
