Unemployment And Hardship

EDM number 1105 in 1994-95, proposed by Eddie Loyden on 10/05/1995.

That this House condemns the level of mass unemployment in Britain and the poverty and misery caused to millions of unemployed workers and their families; notes that further hardship has been imposed by the present Government's decision to introduce VAT on fuel, reductions in benefits to the disabled and the jobseekers allowance that attacks both employed and the unemployed; further notes that the Government is seeking to lay the blame for unemployment on the unemployed; and welcomes the decision of the Trades Union Congress to hold a 10 day march for full employment from Liverpool to Sheffield and rallies in Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield commencing on 14th June.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
