Proceeding contribution from Jamie Reed (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Backbench debate on Policy for Growth.


Policy for Growth

I entirely agree. This is not just about the state. However, economic policy should not be used in an ideological agenda to try to destroy the state, and we know that that is happening in this instance. The ““public good, private good”” mantra is the one that we should adopt. Our national economy is one economy. ““Public”” and ““private”” are not segregated in our towns, villages and cities. As an analysis by PricewaterhouseCoopers has shown, it is not possible to cut the public sector without hitting the private sector hard as well.
