Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

Although the right hon. Gentleman's excoriating attack on the coalition Government is pretty accurate so far, will he confirm that we had a balance of trade deficit in goods last year of some £82 billion, that Labour lost 1 million manufacturing jobs before the recession and that the impact on GDP growth was to suppress it every year since 2000? Just for the sake of accuracy, will he confirm that those figures are right?
