Proceeding contribution from Susan Elan Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 June 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on North Wales Economy.


North Wales Economy

My hon. Friend mentioned that the previous Conservative Government did not claim objective 1 funding. Does he not find it surprising that a former Conservative Secretary of State for Wales, the right hon. Member for Wokingham (Mr Redwood), returned to Whitehall money that was due to the people of Wales? Many businesses in north Wales, especially in our villages and small towns, are small businesses. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Government's changes to VAT will have a devastating effect on such businesses?
