Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Building Britain's Future.

Building Britain's Future

I welcome the innovation fund, which will be of particular importance to manufacturing, but may I correct my right hon. Friend? The Conservative party does have a policy on that sort of thing; their Front Benchers announced it on the Second Reading of the Finance Bill. It is to cut capital allowances by £3.7 billion a year, which would have a devastating effect on manufacturing. Will my right hon. Friend assure me that this Government will go nowhere near such a silly policy?
