Proceeding contribution from Steve Rotheram (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.


Unemployment

Does my right hon. Friend agree that the 227 additional people who have joined the dole queue in Liverpool, Walton may be seen by the Conservatives as just collateral damage from their failed economic policy, but for each of those individuals, although they are a statistic to the Government, theirs is a personal tragedy? Does he agree that they are still the same old Tories who believe that unemployment is a price worth paying?
