Comprehensive Spending Review

I do not think that any Member—certainly not any responsible Welsh constituency Member—should applaud anybody’s job loss. The fact that tens of thousands of workers in Wales will lose their jobs—not just in the public sector but, as PricewaterhouseCoopers says, in the private sector, because the private sector in Wales depends disproportionately on the large public sector—means that thousands of jobs will be lost in Wales as a result of this Government’s policies.
