Proceeding contribution from David Jones (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on Welsh Affairs.


Welsh Affairs

If tackling poverty is indeed the Government's principal aim, will the right hon. Gentleman concede that they have failed abjectly in Wales? It is the poorest region of the country, and four of the five poorest local authority areas in the whole UK are based there. Does he acknowledge that that is a complete, abject and utter failure?
