Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

I said in my statement that, yes, national insurance will go up, and that is necessary because we want to ensure the services that the hon. Gentleman's constituents and mine receive. If they are unfortunate enough to go to hospital or they go to see their doctors or schools, they recognise that they get a benefit from that. I certainly do not think that they want to go back to the days of the past, when a lot of those services were very seriously run down.
