Proceeding contribution from Owen Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 October 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Coalfield Communities (Regeneration).
Coalfield Communities (Regeneration)
Does my hon. Friend agree that the recent statement by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions reveals on his part—and, I fear, on that of many Conservative Members—a deep misunderstanding of the endemic nature of unemployment and incapacity in areas such as my hon. Friend's constituency and mine? It is fundamentally insulting to the people of those communities and implies that they are workshy, when the reality, as he describes, has to do with the communities' industrial heritage.
