Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Andy Sawford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 April 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

My hon. Friend rightly highlights the importance of helping the long-term unemployed back to work and the new deal’s success relative to the Government’s Work programme, which is a contradiction in terms. Does he recognise that in my constituency, which, according to independent surveys, is the most difficult place in the country for young people to find work, we need approaches such as the future jobs fund, which the Government scrapped as one of their first acts of vandalism on coming into office? We need those programmes, which we have proposed.
