Low-Skilled Adults In Older Industrial Areas

EDM number 1508 in 2008-09, proposed by David Anderson on 18/05/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Employment schemes.

That this House acknowledges that the current economic downturn makes the prospects even bleaker for low-skilled hard-to-reach adults who live in older industrial areas; realises that many adults in these areas find it difficult to engage with the labour market; and therefore urges the Government to maintain its commitment to provide the resources and funding so that the most disadvantaged people in such communities can be equipped with the skills, qualifications and opportunities that they, the economy and society need.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
