Proceeding contribution from Chuka Umunna (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 February 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on Job Insecurity.


Job Insecurity

My hon. Friend is totally correct to raise that issue. Not only is it an issue of justice in the workplace, but it is also—[Interruption.] I have completely forgotten the point I was going to make—one of those moments. Ah, the thought has returned to me: it is also bad for the economy. If people are frightened out of their wits about whether they will retain their jobs, they will hardly go and spend money in our economy.
