McDonnell: 'All we're asking for is fairness'published at 10:32 British Summer Time 30 April 2017
It is put to John McDonnell that although wages have stagnated employment has been going up.
Robert Peston reflects that some commentators have said this is because the cost of employment in the UK is lower and there is a risk Labour's plans would bring a growth in unemployment.
Mr McDonnell says "absolutely not".
"We're the only major developed country where we've got growth but wages are stagnating or going backwards," he adds.
"All we're asking for is fairness".
