Unemployment
Wednesday 26th November 2014

Asked by: Mary Macleod (Conservative - Brentford and Isleworth)

Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what estimate he has made of likely changes in the number of workless households in Scotland in the next five years.

Answered by David Mundell

Thanks to the policies of this Government, the number of workless households in Scotland has fallen by 38,000 in the last year.

The best way to ensure this downward trend for the next 5 years is to adhere to the government’s long term economic plan.
