HC Deb 15 November 1984 vol 67 cc326-7W
Mr. Willie W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on his new initiatives to reduce long-term unemployment.

Mr. Alan Clark

The only way permanently to reduce long-term unemployment is to maintain the Government's economic policies, which are the best guarantee of sustainable growth in output and jobs. My right hon. Friend described the latest developments in the Government's employment and training measures on 12 November, at column 444.
