Unemployment

Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment.
I know that the Minister cares about this issue and that we are going to have point scoring. However, a million young people and their many millions of parents and friends are waiting for something to happen. Point scoring will not help them. The shadow Secretary of State finished by remembering the 70th anniversary of the Beveridge report. He was offering an olive branch. In that spirit, why can the Government not say, ““Let's all get around a table and find something together that helps the young unemployed people in this country.””?
