Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Damien Moore and Esther McVey

Monday 21st May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Damien Moore (Southport) (Con)]

T7. Will my right hon. Friend confirm that the record levels of employment that this Government have delivered in office have predominantly involved full-time and higher-skilled roles?

[Ms McVey]

I can confirm that. Since 2010, three quarters of the growth in employment has been in full-time roles, nearly 70% of employment has come from high-skilled work and, in the north-west, 227,000 more people are in work and unemployment has fallen by 141,000.
