Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Autumn Statement.

Autumn Statement

Not only was the future jobs fund primarily aimed at the Government employing people in the public sector, which of course was unsustainable with the very large deficit that Labour was running, but actually it did not work on its own terms, because 50% of the people who used the fund were unemployed within 12 weeks. The youth contract that the Deputy Prime Minister has worked on, which he presented last week, will make a real difference.
