Like most people, but unlike Labour Members, I am interested in talking about the present-2010. Labour's last manifesto said:

"2010: Full employment in every region and nation".

The number of people who have been on the dole in Scotland for more than one year has in fact gone up by 122 per cent. in the past 12 months, yet the Minister and the Secretary of State still want to introduce a tax on jobs that will kill recovery. If she thinks that that is a good idea, is it not she and the Secretary of State who have been misled, not leading Scottish business figures?
