Proceeding contribution from Sally Keeble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 March 2007. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget resolutions.


AMENDMENT OF THE LAW

One of the advantages of the Select Committee’s excellent trip to Ireland was that we looked at some of the economic facts, which are not as the right hon. Gentleman says. Ireland started off as a basket-case and has improved from a low base. Its level of indirect taxes has increased, which this country would not stand. Ireland considers that its spending on the health service is in crisis and that it needs to be transformed. The right hon. Gentleman’s facts are not accurate.
