Proceeding contribution from Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 March 2007. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget resolutions.


AMENDMENT OF THE LAW

We have already had this argument across the Chamber. It is not a case of cutting a piece of public investment, but making better use of available resources. We know that there have been huge amounts of waste. Indeed, at Question Time every week, Members point out examples of wasteful public expenditure, which Ministers sometimes oversee. As for the specifics of Northern Ireland, the Chancellor has said that he intends to announce an innovative fund, so we await to see what is in it tomorrow.
