Comprehensive Spending Review

Indeed. My hon. Friend is right: it is a reactionary, pernicious policy, and it will affect all our constituents very badly indeed. Because Wales relies more on public sector jobs, the savage cuts will damage Wales more than any other part of Britain. There are already far fewer vacancies than there are unemployed people looking for work. For every job vacancy five people are unemployed. The situation will get worse as the cuts hit home, with Ministers once again telling the unemployed to get on their bikes and search for a job. How contemptuous.
