Rishi Sunak: my £30bn plan for jobs

Mr Speaker, I stood here in March saying I knew people were worried. And I know they’re worried still. We have taken decisive action to protect our economy. But people are anxious about losing their job, about unemployment rising.

We’re not just going to accept this. People need to know we will do all we can to give everyone the opportunity of good and secure work. People need to know that although hardship lies ahead, no one will be left without hope. So, today, we act, with a Plan for Jobs.

Our plan has a clear goal: to protect, support and create jobs. It will give businesses the confidence to retain and hire. To create jobs in every part of our country. To give young people a better start. To give people everywhere the opportunity of a fresh start. Where problems emerge, we will confront them. Where support is justified, we will provide it.
