Proceeding contribution from Sally Keeble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 April 2009. It occurred during Budget debate on Amendment of the law.


Amendment of the law

An active debate on the fiscal stimulus took place some time ago, but when one looks at the figures, one finds that the packages that most countries have come up with are roughly similar, give or take a bit. After all the hullabaloo caused when Germany said that this country was doing the wrong thing, the package it has come up with is not dissimilar to ours. I also think that there is a lot of wrongspeak about whether people predicted the crisis.
