Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.
The Economy
The hon. Gentleman's comment was not unlike that of the late James Callaghan when he asked rhetorically, "Why do I speak of the interests of the Royal Navy?" A voice from the back answered, "Because you're in Plymouth." The hon. Gentleman asked why he should raise the interests of the tourism industry, and of course he represents a very fine city on the south coast. That is why he raises the issue of tourism, and that is all that we were laughing at.
