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
I am not going to take an intervention just now. I recall that three years ago, at the beginning of the recession, people were predicting how high unemployment would rise, how difficult things would get and how high our deficit might be. Unemployment did not rise nearly as high as predicted under the Labour Government, and I will tell hon. Members why: because we were putting in money as part of an economic stimulus. Yes, we borrowed to do that but we did so because it was the right thing to do. We were told that it was the right thing to do by the junior partner in this coalition throughout that period. I remember those debates before the election—
