Proceeding contribution from David Anderson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.
Pre-Budget Report
It is obvious from the speech by the shadow Chancellor that his attitude is the same as that which his party took when in government in the past and when millions of people like myself were made redundant. This is not just a discussion about economics; it is about the social fabric of this country. Can I ask the Chancellor that, whatever he does over the next period, he does not use the terms, ““Unemployment is a price worth paying””, or, ““If it is not hurting, it is not working””?
