Proceeding contribution from Robert Walter (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities (Recession).


Rural Communities (Recession)

The Minister said that he thought that rural areas were holding up well. How does that translate into the 212 per cent. increase in male unemployment in North Dorset in the past 12 months, or does the Minister think that all those people are registering new tractors?
