Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Government Regulation.
Government Regulation
Did my right hon. Friend hear, as I thought that I did, the right hon. Member for Wokingham (Mr. Redwood) cite Germany with some approval towards the end of what passed for a peroration? Research paper 05/53, produced by the economic policy and statistics section of the Library, uses three key figures to show, first, on the output per hour measure, that Germany lags behind the United Kingdom; secondly, that, on the labour market figure, the level of employment in Germany is significantly less than in the UK; and, thirdly, on the tax burden, the UK figure of 37.1 per cent. is significantly below that of Germany. How does he account for those three figures if Germany is doing so well in its deregulated idyll?
