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


The Economy

May I remind the hon. Gentleman what he said just 10 years ago? [Hon. Members: "Just!"] In his lifetime, that is merely a passing moment. He said:""No one is arguing for an increasingly severe, more onerous and dirigiste system of regulation."—[Official Report, 28 June 1999; Vol. 334, c. 55.]" So he was not in the camp calling for more dirigiste and heavier regulation. He was on our side, not on the Government’s side.
