There have never been more women saying that they are working part time and cannot get the hours to work full time. The female employment rate is lower than it was under Labour before the crash.
Mr Jim Cunningham (Coventry South) (Lab)
Does my hon. Friend agree that there are more women than ever before on low wages, more women than ever before who cannot get jobs, and more women than ever before who have to deal with the high cost of living?
Gloria De Piero
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. I will discuss some of the measures that a Labour Government would introduce.
