Business question from Lord Wilson of Sedgefield (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 March 2012. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate in Government time to congratulate the previous Labour Government on their ability to attract inward investment? The announcement on GlaxoSmithKline that was made in the Budget yesterday is a result of what we introduced in 2009. Similarly, the Hitachi train-building factory which, as announced last year, is going to be built in my constituency comes as a direct result of Labour's growth strategy. Does the Leader of the House think that we should have that debate, given that the only aspect of yesterday's Budget that referred to growth was the result of Labour policy?
