Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on London’s Economy.


London’s Economy

Does my hon. Friend recognise that the midlands of England are larger, have a greater population, make a bigger contribution to the economy, and are more significant in academic, cultural and sporting terms, so the special pleading for London that is about to start does not ring true to midlands ears? We must rebalance UK society away from the metro-centricity of which this speech is typical.
