Compulsory Jobs Guarantee

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Pound (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2015. It occurred during Opposition day on Compulsory Jobs Guarantee.

I am chagrined to hear that the hon. Member for Selby and Ainsty (Nigel Adams) will not vote with the Opposition this afternoon. However, when I think of his demonstrable lack of numeracy when he referred to the number of people in the Chamber and his apparent willingness—naive or foolish, I know not—to draw to the attention of the nation the fact that there are more people on the Opposition Benches than on the Government Benches, I wonder whether we would have found space for him over here had he chosen to support us.
