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


The Economy

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Conservative policy would be devastating for the British economy. Instead of helping those who are hardest hit, the Conservatives simply want to help millionaires. Just as they did in the ’80s and ’90s, they want to turn their backs on people who need help. We will not do that. We will keep supporting British business and British families with the help that they need to get through. That is why we reject their motion today.
