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


Government Capital Expenditure

Does my right hon. Friend also recall that under the last Conservative Government of 1992-97, with their woeful investment record to which he has just referred, the national debt doubled, and that this Government started to pay that down? Can he also tell us what are the accumulated national debts as a proportion of GDP of other leading industrialised countries, compared with that of the United Kingdom?
