Proceeding contribution from Rachel Reeves (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Economic Affairs and Work and Pensions.
Economic Affairs and Work and Pensions
Does the shadow Chancellor agree with this statement by the Governor of the Bank of England:""I don't think you can compare the UK with Greece. There are big differences"?" I suggest that not the least of the differences between our countries is that our debt-to-GDP ratio is about half that of Greece.
