Proceeding contribution from Chris Evans (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

The hon. Gentleman’s remarks are a complete symptom of what is happening on the Government Benches: economic illiteracy. What about 1981? Who was in power then? Mrs Thatcher. Let us not forget 1990 and 1991, which saw the worst economic recession, with businesses going to the wall and people losing their houses. What about that? We are again seeing history being rewritten by Members on the Government Benches.
