Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 2) Bill.
Finance (No. 2) Bill
I entirely accept the need to sustain small businesses, but small businesses live off two things: first, big businesses, which make orders for them; and, secondly, demand in the economy, as we go for meals out, get building alterations done to our homes and so on. If people are not spending because they are frightened of losing their jobs and having their pensions and benefits cut, that damages small businesses at least as much as it does big businesses.
