Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Autumn Forecast.


Autumn Forecast

First, we are seeking to reduce the impact of the fiscal consolidation that would have taken place under either the Conservative or the Labour party in office. We are doing so in a way that, as the OBR has today shown, has a reduced impact on public sector headcount loss. Secondly, we are putting in place a comprehensive Work programme to help people who are without work to find work. Thirdly, today's forecast is that more than 1 million new jobs will be created over this Parliament. That will help all constituencies, including the hon. Gentleman's.
