Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill.


Water Industry (Financial Assistance) Bill

On that important point, I know from my experience of the Jubilee line extension and other major projects that often the issue is not whether a deal is done that in theory ensures jobs, apprenticeships and training for local residents, but whether such a deal is then monitored and delivered. Often the will is there but it does not turn out that way in practice.
