    Mr Miliband is now speaking. He says that job security is “the bedrock” for working people

    The Labour leader says that he himself would not survive on a zero hour contract saying that: “If it is not good enough for us, its not good enough for you, it’s not good enough for working Britain.”

    He has now handed over to a Q&A at David Brown Gear Systems in Huddersfield and has challenged members of the Conservative Party and business leaders to try and live on a zero hour contract themselves. He said: “Whether it is me or David Cameron or other people in our society, I don’t think it provides security for you and your family.”

    Meanwhile David Cameron has arrived at a brewery in Wolverhampton, with the Chancellor, George Osborne.
