Proceeding contribution from Owen Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on The Budget.
The Budget
The Chief Secretary says that he wants to help families and that the Budget will deliver growth—as was said in the previous Budget—so I wonder how he interprets yesterday’s figures from the Office for National Statistics, which showed that in real terms wages in this country, and in Wales, shrank last year for the first time in 30 years, and projected that they would shrink by a further 2% this year. That is clear evidence for Opposition Members that Government policy is not working.
