Unemployment

Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.
If the hon. Gentleman had been listening carefully, he would have heard me answer that question. The plan that my right hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh South West and I set out entailed borrowing that was £37 billion lower than that outlined by the Chancellor in his autumn statement a couple of weeks ago. That is of grave concern to the number of people who are now out of work, especially young people in the hon. Gentleman's constituency, where long-term youth unemployment has gone up by 128% this year, which must surely concern him.
