Paul Goggins: Action On Unemployment - 06/04/2009 |
 Following the recent release of unemployment figures across Britain, Wythenshawe and Sale East MP Paul Goggins has committed to do all he can to make sure that the Government will take every action necessary to support local businesses.
Mr Goggins said: “Unemployment can be devastating for the individual and can weaken the resilience of families and the wider community. That is why it is so important that the Government does all it can to support people through these economic hard times and prepare for the better times that will come.
“From the groundbreaking agreements at the G20 Summit, to the personal contribution of the staff at Jobcentre Plus we are focussed on doing all we can to get people back into work as quickly as possible.
“The fatalism and lack of action which characterised the Conservative approach to the 1980s recession dealt a heavy blow to my constituents. The Prime Minister has made clear that he will take whatever action is necessary.
“Between 1997 and 2008 unemployment in Wythenshawe and Sale East more than halved, and whist there are fewer claimants today than there were in 1997, we owe it to those who have lost their jobs to do everything in our power to turn things round. I will do all I can to support those businesses that remain in Wythenshawe and Sale East and encourage new ones to invest.”
