Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 November 2006. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Treasury and Work and Pensions.
Treasury and Work and Pensions
No, I will not. [Hon. Members: ““Give way!””] I shall give way to the shadow Chancellor if he wants to correct what he said earlier, but I am not giving way to the hon. Gentleman. On the subject of reducing poverty and tackling social exclusion, did not the hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge, the shadow Chancellor and the party that they represent have the opportunity to vote for all the measures that we have proposed and which have made such a positive impact in tackling poverty? Extra investment in the national health service—they opposed it. Extra investment in our schools—they voted against that too.
