HC Deb 05 March 1985 vol 74 c468W
67. Mr. Yeo

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he is taking to seek to reduce unemployment in Haverhill.

Mr. Alan Clark

The Government are committed to maintaining their economic policies which are directed at holding down inflation and public borrowing while encouraging enterprise, flexibility and competitiveness in industry and the labour market. That is the only way to generate lasting jobs in Haverhill and elsewhere. In the meantime we are spending over £2 billion this year on a range of employment and training measures to help the unemployed.
