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


Comprehensive Spending Review

As the hon. Lady will be aware, we have set up the Office for Budget Responsibility, which is an independent office. It is the OBR that is predicting year-on-year falling unemployment and rising employment. I hear Opposition Members talking about 480,000 or 490,000 public sector job losses, but I am afraid they have to consider that the same report assesses that 1.6 million jobs will be created in the private sector. They cannot have it both ways.
