	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2015 answer text <p>Unemployment in Huddersfield is at its lowest since 2008. In February the Chancellor laid out his Long-term Economic Plan for Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire – a crucial step in building the Northern Powerhouse. The plan aims to raise the employment rate of Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire so that over 100,000 more people are in employment there during this Parliament. This will be achieved by backing business start-ups and business growth and investment, through projects like the new, Growth-Deal funded, Incubation and Innovation Centre at Huddersfield University which will support jobs growth in the advanced manufacturing and digital and creative sectors.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 18/06/2015 11:45:29 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
