Proceeding contribution from Rachel Reeves (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Friend the Member for Birmingham, Hodge Hill (Mr Byrne) is referring to the long-term interest rates, which were falling for at least a month before the election.
