Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on Pre-Budget Report.
Pre-Budget Report
The Conservatives are constantly harping on about borrowing and debt, but the truth is that our gross national debt is still below that of France and Germany, and about half that of Italy and Japan. There is no need for panic. May I suggest that the Tories are trying to make the Government panic simply for electoral advantage, rather than for the benefit of the country?
