Weeks, 25 Companies Taking part. My right honourable friend agree with me making a good start so we must not be complacent and through midlands engine get good quality jobs . Very much agree with what my honourable friend said. If we look at West Midlands, take todays unemployment figures the claimant count has come down in the West Midlands since 2010 by 91,000 people. Im sure the house would welcome an update on unemployment figuring. Employment in our country at new record high of 31. 4 Million People. Compared with 2010, there are now two million 370,000 more people in work than when i became Prime Minister. Claimant count down 18,000 in the last month. Figures im sure welcome right across the house. [shouting] thank you, thank you, mr. Speaker. Could the Prime Minister tell the house how many people will die from the disease as a result of air pollution before this country meets its legal obligations on air quality by to 25 . 2025.

Recruitment, retention and moralee . Thank you, senator. Thank you for that question. Let me begin at the beginning. Why did we do this in the first place .

First, it stands to reason that you will reconsider the Selective Service system in its treatment of females in view of the department of defenses policies and practices with respect to women as well a
Night, in lookay at the fcc Lifeline Subsidy Program in a plan to include Broadband Access in order to bridge the Digital Divide between higher and lower income americans. The fcc expects to take up the proposal at the end of the month. We will talk with the policy director at the Benton Foundation and daniel lion. We are joined by brandon sasso. Low income consumers need access to broadband. That unclear to me congress would be able to pass a support for directly aimed at low income users. This congress has not been particularly supportive of folks who are in poverty. The conversations that have been on the hill have been hard to decipher. They are putting the cart before the horse or they have not been a study to suggest that these are the drivers keeping low income people from adopting broadband service. We do not know if we need nine dollars a month for 10 Million People or 45 month for 2 Million People. You have to make sure you are employing the money effectively. Fcc has not don
