Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill.


Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill

The point is that spending £7 million to give £2 million is an appalling waste of money. Anyone who votes for anything like that will have a real stain on their financial track record, because people will observe the Opposition saying, ““This is so important that we have do things in this inefficient way.”” It is a ludicrous proposal.
