Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.
Unemployment
My right hon. Friend is making a characteristically powerful speech. The truth is that the House of Commons Library is clear: in January 2011, long-term youth unemployment in his constituency was 160, but it is now 270, a rise of more than 68%. Under anybody's definition that rise is unacceptable, and the Government should be doing more to bring it down.
