The Prime Minister
Of course; I will replace it with, “The man who left us this enormous deficit and this financial crisis.”
Sheila Gilmore (Edinburgh East) (Lab)
Q14. After six months in government, the Prime Minister announced that his Government had created 500,000 private sector jobs. After two years, he is giving us the figure of 600,000 jobs since the election. Why has the rate of growth slowed down so much?
The Prime Minister
There were 100,000 extra people in employment over the last quarter, and in the last two months we have seen repeated falls in unemployment and increases in employment. I would have thought that the hon. Lady would welcome that.
