Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Fiscal Responsibility Bill.


Fiscal Responsibility Bill

There is indeed a question as to when one withdraws the fiscal stimulus, but this debate is taking place within a vacuum. The International Monetary Fund is clear about this matter: the UK is the only G7 country to be fully withdrawing its fiscal stimulus package in 2010. Irrespective of the view taken by the Conservatives or the Labour Front-Bench team, the idea that the stimulus package is still in place is completely false.
