    Or workless. They are not workless, because they are not able to work. They are doing other things. Elizabeth Howlett AM: You have hit on a bête noire of mine, I must say, because I think we have marginalised and done very badly by a whole group of youngsters leaving schools who have manual skills and do not get training. There is nothing disrespectful about saying you are a manual worker. It is an essential element in our life and, in fact, Poles are keeping the construction industry going.

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    : Indeed, but I think someone should ask well what would be the point in trying to get into work people who are long-term sick and disabled, who have obviously taken themselves out of work because they cannot work? What is the point of getting students into work when they are there to be studying and what is the point in spending a lot of resources on getting people to work who have chosen not to work because they are carers at home or indeed, as I have just said, there is a percentage of women who choose not to...

  • Compulsory Purchase (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    I am staggered by the figure of 24, because I am aware that there are a hell of a lot more businesses than 24 in that area, so it sounds to me like you have an awful long way to go. The main point I want to say to you: I do not know whether you saw some of the local businessmen, who were congregated outside City Hall this morning in advance of this meeting. I think some of them are in the audience now. They are shaking their heads in disbelief at what they just heard from you. I...

    All of the businesses? Right. How often?

    How would you define the negotiations that are ongoing with all the businesses?

  • Compulsory Purchase (Supplementary) [8]

    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    Well, it is quite a long answer, is it not?

  • Compulsory Purchase (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    Can I just ask, then, finally, could you keep me abreast ' or all of us abreast, through the Chair ' of all the contacts you have made, and what businesses you are currently in proper negotiation with, so that we can see for ourselves what progress you are making?

  • Compulsory Purchase (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Angie Bray

    How many are you in negotiation with right now?

    I have to say, the answers are a little bit slow, and we have limited time. Sally Hamwee (Chair): I hope that Mary (Reilly) understands the balance that I have to keep during this meeting, and Angie (Bray) and I have already exchanged some words during this, but please, do carry on. There are important things that ' perhaps I should explain to everybody, primarily those sitting behind me ' there are things that we need to get on the record. Carry on.
