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


Government Capital Expenditure

I was asking the hon. Member for South-West Hertfordshire (Mr. Gauke) a question about monetary policy, should we get to the stage where interest rates in this country are as low as they have been in Japan and the USA. I was talking about a hypothetical situation, not one that is in existence, because, as the hon. Member for Chichester (Mr. Tyrie) knows, interest rates are currently 1.5 per cent.
