Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.


Unemployment

Does the right hon. Gentleman not accept that the future jobs fund was not about providing long-term jobs, but about short-term work placements of six months in the public sector? What is the point of that? If he wants to talk about solid outcomes for the future, he should not be talking about the future jobs fund, because within weeks the people involved were out of work again.
