Proceeding contribution from Nick de Bois (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 February 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Youth Unemployment.

Youth Unemployment

Does the right hon. Gentleman not understand that there is one significant distinction in respect of the figures he is discussing, in that there was massive over-reliance on putting people into the public sector through many of these programmes as a result of the legacy of economic failure that we have inherited? Therefore, there is naturally now some shrinkage in the public sector. That is the big difference. We have to create real jobs in the private sector for the long term.
