HC Deb 29 April 1968 vol 763 c128W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is Her Majesty's Government's policy as to the level of unemployment, in the light of present Government economic and financial policies.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

It is the Government's policy to secure a full, sustainable and regionally-balanced level of employment. The full achievement of this must depend to a considerable extent upon rising exports bringing about a growth of production and a satisfactory improvement in the balance of payments.
