Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) 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
I am pleased to hear that the Government continue to support growth to support expansion, at least for the short term—that is, next year. Does the Minister accept that the best way of doing that is to target public investment, which would have the greatest effect on maintaining and expanding employment, particularly if jobs in the public sector are kept going, thus maximising tax revenues, minimising benefit payments and achieving the Minister's objectives?
