Proceeding contribution from Guto Bebb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on The Budget.


The Budget

As usual, my hon. Friend makes a very strong point and I agree entirely. Another point made by the hon. Member for Vale of Clwyd was about the great job creation at the St Asaph business park under the previous Labour Government. I know the St Asaph business park extremely well, and there are undoubtedly jobs there. The Department of Economy and Transport of the Welsh Assembly has offices there, as does the Department of Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills. The Welsh Tourist Board is there and the North Wales police have moved there—including some of their cells—as has the north Wales ambulance service. They are all good jobs, but they are public sector jobs. The hon. Gentleman fails to understand that a real economy is created on the back of private sector jobs and wealth creation, not on moving jobs from the centre of towns in all parts of north Wales to an out-of-town industrial park.
