Proceeding contribution from John Barrett (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.

Unemployment

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the worst is yet to come? The Royal Bank of Scotland's headquarters are in my constituency. The bank has announced 2,300 job losses, but the new chief executive who has taken over from Sir Fred Goodwin has said that the full number will be around 20,000. There are more job losses to come in that sector.
