KEEP LEEDS WORKING CAMPAIGN

That this House congratulates the Yorkshire Evening Post on its Keep Leeds Working campaign; welcomes the scheme, which will include a special jobs supplement offering help and advice to jobseekers and budding entrepreneurs as well as featuring hundreds of job vacancies; laments that in these difficult economic times searching for jobs can be a challenging and demoralising task; notes the positive impact this campaign will have for the people of Leeds; recognises the essential role that local press play in communicating job information to the local community; and hopes that other newspapers will follow the example of the Yorkshire Evening Post and do what they can to help local residents during the recession.
