The number of people in work has risen by 1.7 million since 2010, and the number of people claiming the main out of work benefits has fallen by over 700,000.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 30/06/2014 13:59:40 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
