Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fiscal Responsibility Bill.
Fiscal Responsibility Bill
The hon. Gentleman is right that our debt-to-GDP ratio fell, in a good way, quite markedly after the second world war. Nevertheless, it is still true that we have previously been in territory where that ratio has been well over 100 per cent. We are not in that position at the moment.
