Steve Brine has welcomed new figures showing that 300 fewer people are relying on Jobseeker's Allowance in Winchester & Chandler's Ford compared to this time last year, with the number of people in work in the South East up by 263,000 since 2010.

And in further good news, in Winchester & Chandler's Ford, the number of people on unemployment benefits is down by 435 since the Government came to power in 2010.

Steve Brine said: "It is excellent news that since 2010 there are 435 fewer people in Winchester & Chandler's Ford relying on Jobseeker's Allowance. That means more people with the prospect of a better and brighter future ahead of them.

"As these figures show the Conservatives' long-term economic plan is working, backing local businesses to create more jobs. Now is not the time to twist, and we need to stick to that plan.
