Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Government Capital Expenditure.


Government Capital Expenditure

We must certainly reflect on the interests of developing countries and the developments within them, and we will do that in the G20 discussions leading up to the summit in London in April. It is clear that the downturn is affecting not just developed countries but developing ones, and some investment is being withdrawn from developing countries. We need to consider that matter.
