Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on The Economy.
The Economy
I am grateful to the right hon. Lady for giving way. Unemployment has passed the landmark of 2 million. Some people reckon that in the next year unemployment will reach 3 million, an increase of 50 per cent. Is this the right time to introduce £1 billion of cuts to Scotland, as well as to Wales and Northern Ireland? Cutting the budgets of the Scottish, Northern Ireland and Welsh Governments is the exact opposite of a fiscal stimulus.
