Proceeding contribution from Lord Austin of Dudley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

The Minister's whole plan is based on two things: achieving, first, the biggest rate of export since 1974 and, secondly, a rise in business investment that has been matched only once in our history. Achieving both those things in the same year would be unprecedented, but the Government want to achieve both every year for three years on the trot. I know that the Chancellor and the Prime Minister do not live in the same world as the rest of us, but where did they dream that up—fantasy island?
