Proceeding contribution from Lord Grayling (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.
Unemployment
May I ask the right hon. Gentleman, who is a decent man, to go and look at the original quotation? If he does so, he will find that I said that the actual figure for youth unemployment was 730,000. The 1 million figure is not a true reflection of the position, because it includes a large number of full-time students looking for part-time jobs. I do not count those as being unemployed.
