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


Unemployment

The report issued by the Office for Budget Responsibility at the time of the autumn statement made it clear that the boom was greater and the recession sharper and deeper than had previously been thought. It also stated that the recovery in 2009 was stronger than had previously been thought, and that it was brought to an abrupt halt in the second half of 2010. Perhaps the Minister would like to reflect on what happened in 2010 to change things.
