Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Shaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 September 2009. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Identifying Growth Sectors in the South East Economy.


Identifying Growth Sectors in the South East Economy

I want to make a little progress. The mortgage rescue scheme helps individuals. The ““time to pay”” initiative, to which I referred earlier, helps businesses to stay afloat by deferring their tax payments. For example, 30,000 businesses have benefited to the tune of £540 million in this region. I also commend local authorities for their support, as well as citizens advice bureaux, which provide assistance to citizens and households.
