Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 4:04 pm on 20 May 1986.

One in four is unemployed, and 90 per cent. of the kiddies who left school could not find a job. What will be done for Doncaster and what investment is going into the area? When will the Government invest in order to find jobs for our lads and lasses?
