Proceeding contribution from Stephen Hesford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

The hon. Gentleman has made his point. In the article to which I referred, the hon. Member for Tatton went on to say:"““We must not rush to rash judgment or premature solutions””," but that is exactly what the Opposition seek to put forward. The right hon. Member for Witney did so, among a litany of other issues, in the article to which I referred earlier. However, the hon. Member for Tatton went on to contradict himself in his article. Having said that the crisis was not foreseeable even a year ago, he goes on to say:"““But the warning signs were ignored because under…the old economic consensus all was well.””"
