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

Autumn Statement

I welcome the Chancellor's statement on the port of Blyth, which is something for which I have been fighting for a long time—I asked the Business Secretary about that only last week, so this is good, quick thinking. However, is the Chancellor aware that south-east Northumberland, where Blyth and the estuary are, has the highest unemployment in the north-east and perhaps the country? Will he consider making the estuary and all the land around it into an enterprise zone, bringing the jobs to where the unemployment blackspots are?
