Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Government Regulation.

Government Regulation

Before the right hon. Gentleman moves on from manufacturing jobs, may I tell him that I, unlike him, represent a manufacturing constituency? It currently has 1.4 per cent. unemployment. I accept that many manufacturing jobs have been lost, but that has been the pattern throughout the western world. What regulations—not European regulations, but regulations specific to the Government—would he scrap to make us more competitive with countries such as China and India where many of the jobs have gone? What changes would he make?
