[un-allotted half day] — Unemployment
Opposition Day
5:17 pm
Chris Grayling (Minister of State (Employment), Work and Pensions; Epsom and Ewell, Conservative)
May I ask the right hon. Gentleman, who is a decent man, to go and look at the original quotation? If he does so, he will find that I said that the actual figure for youth unemployment was 730,000. The 1 million figure is not a true reflection of the position, because it includes a large number of full-time students looking for part-time jobs. I do not count those as being unemployed.
