Proceeding contribution from Tom Blenkinsop (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

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech on Labour's proposal to create 100,000 jobs for the young from a bankers' bonus tax. The north-east is bucking the national trend in manufacturing, which is in the doldrums in the rest of the nation, but 7,000 private sector jobs were lost in the past three months of 2011, whereas 4,000 public sector jobs were lost. Given that clear disparity, what does my hon. Friend make of the Prime Minister's rhetoric on the creation of private sector jobs?
