My hon. Friend is absolutely right. In the past seven years in Wales there has been a substantial reduction£41 per cent.—in the number of long-term unemployed. That represents a fall from 78,000 to 46,000£ a reduction of 32,000. Wales now has record productivity and record manufacturing output. Our message is that Wales will lead the United Kingdom out of recession.
