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
My right hon. Friend represents a part of the country that was at the wrong end of the 1980s recession. On many visits to his part of the country, I have found it impressive to see how former coke works and coal mining areas have been completely transformed and, on the same sites, high-tech industries and cutting-edge developments in advanced engineering employing a lot of people. He is absolutely right to say that we need to encourage that not just for the next five or 10 years, but for decades after that.
