Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on The Economy and Welfare Reform.


The Economy and Welfare Reform

The hon. Gentleman and I have constituencies in the same county, and he knows that Cheshire has some important businesses with strong connections to Germany. He has twice mentioned Germany in his speech. Does he really believe that the German economy is on a sounder footing than the economy here, given that Opel workers have taken a pay freeze until 2010 because of the problems and massive cuts that they have faced?
