  Keith - you do not solve employment problems by subsidy - specially when it is all on borrowed money that has to be paid back and while we are already building up more and more debt daily due to a deficit.
  
  The way to do it is to encourage business, reduce their tax burden, improve incentives, get rid of daft red tape and in so doing reduce business costs making them more competitive and enable them to win orders. You also need to encourage more employment by reducing disincentives to employ people, like making it easier and cheaper to sack people. That is the only way to solve unemployment problems.
  
  Subsidy just creates a hidden pool of unemployment that eventually 'shakes out' into the system anyway and is worse that otherwise because the businesses will have lost their competitive edge and will no longer have a future. I repeat British Leyland....
