Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones | I'm on your side

I was as delighted as I am sure many stranded constituents were that the air space reopened and, on another sunny day in Wiltshire, I enjoyed meeting people in Winsley, Westwood and Pewsham.

My morning was spent with Councillor Linda Conley who is working very hard behind the scenes to ensure 20 is plenty is tested in Limpley Stoke.

I also spent time preparing for my second Job Club meeting.  This is part of the “Get Britain Working” campaign and already running in Chippenham.

We will introduce a single, comprehensive Work Programme to get Britain working again, which will be up and running by the end of 2010. As part of our Work Programme, we will offer unprecedented support to all those who are looking for work.  If you can’t work and need to be paid Incapacity Benefit then we will give you the financial support to which you are entitled, and if you can work, and you actively look for work, we will give you unprecedented help to find a good job.

But you must keep to your side of the bargain. We will make sure that you are claiming the right benefits and, within six months of taking office, we will introduce new sanctions for anyone who refuses to look for work.

Its time for change to keep Wiltshire’s economic recovery on track.
