Moving to Work

I see nothing wrong in moving towards regional employment opportunities. People have been doing this since the dawn of the industrial revolution. Before that they moved to more fertile land. It is right to make it possible to vacate council accommodation and benefits in one location, to a similar situation, but with a job fixed, in another.

It is also right to stress the importance of doing everything possible to encourage small neighbourhood industries to set up to provide local employment, economic regeneration and family cohesion. Ed Balls is right to point this out, yet it was under Labour that so much regeneration was retail based selling foreign goods.
