Proceeding contribution from Helen Goodman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

I am grateful. The Chief Secretary has pointed to the forecasts made by the OBR. He will know that between 1994 and 2008, the private sector created 100,000 jobs a year. In that period, growth was 2.8%. The OBR projects growth of 2.4%. How, then, is it possible that 1 million jobs can be created in the forthcoming period?
