June 2009 – Yvette Cooper appointed Secretary of State for Work and Pensions

"This is a difficult time. But my priority is to get on with the business of helping families and pensioners up and down the country, lifting people out of poverty and helping people find jobs. In the 80s and 90s, a generation of young people was abandoned to long term unemployment. I'm determined that won't happen again."
