Proceeding contribution from Doug Henderson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on The Economy.


The Economy

Setting aside the political rhetoric—[Interruption.] I think we have heard a lot of that today. Setting aside the political rhetoric, does the Conservative party accept that as part of any fiscal stimulus internationally, it is inevitable in this country as in other G20 countries that both debt and borrowing will be a higher percentage of GDP, rising in every advanced country above the 3 per cent.? If the Conservatives do accept that, what is their strategy for tackling Britain’s position?
