HC Deb 02 February 1998 vol 305 c477W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Prime Minister what plans he has to assist women aged over 50 years back into employment. [27047]

The Prime Minister

We shall continue with policies of economic stability and growth that create employment opportunities for all. The latest figures announced on 14 January 1998 show a continued increase in the number of people in work in the UK and a further fall in the number unemployed. Falls in unemployment have been relatively even across all age groups for both men and women.
