LIBERAL DEMOCRAT ACHIEVEMENTS IN GOVERNMENT

Over 1 million new jobs have been created and unemployment is far lower than in 2010. Many new jobs are in the green technology sector and the creative industries, giving real opportunities to our young people. 1.2 million apprenticeships have started and the economy is growing. There is more to do and we shall legislate to make zero hours contracts tied to one employer a thing of the past. Workers have a right to know how much they will earn as a minimum each week/month. We shall continue to enforce payment of the minimum wage by all employers and to push for a universal living wage.
