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


Unemployment

I am grateful to the Minister, who is characteristically generous in giving way. I assume that he refers to the statistics that were published on the Department's website about work experience, which showed that between January and August 2011, 16,360 claimants started a ““get Britain working”” work experience placement. That is in the written answer that he gave me. Of those 16,000, how many have got jobs?
