Proceeding contribution from Mark Hoban (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill.
Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill
I am sorry, but I need to make progress. We are prioritising fairness and social mobility, providing sustained routes out of poverty for the poorest. While encouraging some of the poorest to build up savings can be seen as meeting those goals, in the tight fiscal position that we have inherited, it is better to invest more in education and health, which will have a greater immediate impact than building up assets.
