Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Two million more people have mortgages today than did in 1997, and it was the Conservative Government who led to hundreds of thousands of people being in negative equity, and to very high interest rates. While we have been in government, the Conservatives have progressively opposed the housing developments that are needed to deliver prosperity and social justice.
