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

I was going to finish my comments, and I regret allowing that intervention. I wanted to mention issues concerning the Department for Economy and Transport in Wales, which is an imperative and important Department that works with the Treasury to ensure that enterprise zones and so forth are placed in Wales. The right hon. Member for Neath asked whether it is justifiable to have a Minister who is ““as ineffective as Ieuan Wyn Jones.”” As long as that situation remains, we can do many things in the Budget in Westminster, but the tools remain in the Welsh Assembly. If those tools are not being used for the benefit of the Welsh economy, we are in a difficult place.
