Proceeding contribution from Lord Newby (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 29 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Autumn Forecast.


Autumn Forecast

My Lords, can the Minister confirm that, at the end of this period, with job losses in the public sector being 160,000 fewer than was predicted earlier on in the year, there will in fact be over 350,000 more people working in the public sector than when the Labour Government came into office in 1997? Can he also give an estimate of how much less the reduction in private sector employment will be as a result of this revised forecast over the forecast in June?
