HC Deb 26 February 1997 vol 291 c262W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what steps she is taking to encourage the creation of more permanent jobs. [16091]

Mr. Forth

This Government will continue with the policies of reducing burdens on business and creating the framework for economic growth, which have resulted in the creation of nearly 900,000 jobs and a reduction in unemployment of over 1 million since the recovery began in December 1992.
