28. Mr. Khabra

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the impact of his Department's policies on the levels of employment and unemployment in London. [121399]

Miss Melanie Johnson

In London, as in the rest of the UK, we have created a sound and credible platform of economic stability that will help us attain our objective of high and stable levels of growth and employment. Since the election, employment in London has risen by 150,000 and unemployment has fallen by 73,000.
