Proceeding contribution from Kwasi Kwarteng (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Building a High-Skilled Economy.


Building a High-Skilled Economy

In a debate that took place yesterday, the Minister for Universities and Science pointed out that manufacturing had collapsed even further under the Labour Government than under 18 years of the Conservative Government. I quote from memory, but it went from some 22% to 18% of GDP between 1979 and 1997, and had decreased to some 11% by 2009.
