Proceeding contribution from Eilidh Whiteford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.
Unemployment
Today's employment statistics make extremely sobering reading. They spell out more clearly than any of our speeches today just how much our economy is struggling and how the recovery is faltering. We know from the Office for Budget Responsibility that the UK economy is already contracting in the final quarter of this year and we can predict with some confidence that there will be more turbulent times in 2012.
