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


Unemployment

The Minister wants accurate figures, so let me tell him that 130 people in my constituency in highly skilled engineering jobs are losing their jobs today because of cuts in public sector spending. It is a private sector business. Does the Minister not understand that cuts in the public sector impact on the private sector? Here in my hand is the proof to show that.
