Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) 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

There are, indeed, choices to be made: there is a choice about the kind of society we want to live in, and there is a choice about how we resolve economic problems. Members on the coalition Benches want the public to believe that there is only one show in town, which is that we have the worst deficit in peacetime and that we have a situation that was entirely caused by the last Government spending too much over too many years. That is the only argument they want people to believe, but let us just unwind a couple of years.—
