'No room for complacency' on unemployment

The number of people out of work in the UK fell by 125,000 to 2.34 million in the three months to December, according to latest estimates.

The rate of unemployment now stands at 7.2%, the Office for National Statistics said.

Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves welcomed the figures but warned that there was "still a long way to go" and "no room for complacency".
