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

I largely agree, which is why we have taken the measures that I shall be setting out in a moment, although there are still opportunities overseas—in China, for example. We have been talking with Premier Wen today about the Chinese economy, which will grow significantly in the coming year, although not at as high a rate as in recent years.
