Proceeding contribution from Brooks Newmark (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on Pre-Budget Report.

Member for Luton, North (Kelvin Hopkins) and even the Government—is the need to stop the huge rise in unemployment. Does it not strike my hon. Friend as counter-intuitive to raise national insurance when one is trying to increase employment and reduce unemployment?
