Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 November 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

One or two Labour Members tried that argument yesterday during the statement by my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. I wholly reject the premise on which hon. Gentleman based his question. We have taken firm action to deal with the deficit, which is far lower than that in the Irish Republic, so I reject entirely his comparison.
