Proceeding contribution from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 October 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Unemployment in the UK.


Unemployment in the UK

Does not the hon. Gentleman find it ironic, as I do, that all those tax incentives are in the Republic of Ireland, yet the Republic of Ireland was the first European country to go into recession? That is very problematic for the future. Does not he agree that what we really need is stability so that we do not have a sharp downturn, as we have seen in the Republic of Ireland?
