Proceeding contribution from Yasmin Qureshi (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.


Living Standards

My hon. Friend rightly says that there are no jobs out there, with more than 2 million unemployed. So people will become unemployed and the state will then have to spend hundreds of pounds on keeping these families on benefits, as opposed to allowing them to work and contribute to the economy.
