Treasury written question – answered at on 13 December 2010.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish his estimate of the number of public and private sector job reductions in (a) Houghton and Sunderland South constituency, (b) Sunderland, (c) the North East of England and (d) England between 2010 and 2015.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) was formed in May 2010 to make an independent assessment of the public finances and the economy.
On
As the OBR sets out in paragraph 3.98, page 62 of its "November 2010 Economic and fiscal outlook" (Cm 7979), it expects total employment to rise by 1.1 million over the next five years, from 29.0 million in 2010 to 30.1 million in 2015. General Government employment is projected to fall by just over 400,000 between 2010-11 and 2015-16, more than offset by a rise in market sector employment of around 1.5 million.
The OBR has not published forecasts on a sub-national level.
