Proceeding contribution from Rachel Reeves (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 January 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Youth Unemployment and Bank Bonuses.


Youth Unemployment and Bank Bonuses

In the hon. Lady's constituency, long-term youth unemployment has gone up by 25% in the past few months. I do not know what she says to her constituents—““There's loads of jobs out there. Just go and get one””? More people are chasing jobs than there are jobs available. That is because the Government are pushing more and more people out of work. I am sorry that the hon. Lady does not know the numbers for her constituency, but we know.
