Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 September 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Opportunities for the Next Generation.
Opportunities for the Next Generation
If we are to have a history lesson, it is perhaps pertinent to point out that the rate of youth unemployment fell during the first years of the Labour Government. The 2010 figure that all Government Members want to quote with such glee was after the recession. One must look at the whole period, and not simply take the beginning and end point and imply that the Labour Government did nothing to reduce youth unemployment.
