Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
I am curious about this argument about manufacturing. Gross fixed capital formation is down—it has been bottom of the EU heap since 1997—and research and development spend has been lower than our major competitors since 1997. We lost a million manufacturing jobs since 1997 before the recession, and we had an £81 billion balance of trade deficit in goods last year. Which bit of it does Labour think that it has got right?
